Modelling and observed sea salt aerosol in the Weddell Sea (June-August 2013)
This dataset contains all datasets used in Yang et al. ACP (2019), especially the model-data comparison data and pTOMCAT's model experimental results. The data include pTOMCAT model output of sea salt aerosol (SSA) and the cruise data from the Weddell Sea, they include blowing snow particles and aerosol number density and regrouped size spectrum over open ocean, marginal sea ice zone and packed sea ice. It also contains monthly sea salt aerosol sodium concentrations at eight polar sites in both northern and southern hemispheres: Alert, Barrow, Summit, Palmer, Neumayer, Halley, Kohnen and Concordia (Dome C). The Weddell Sea particle data (both blowing snow and aerosol) are from 29m above the sea level (not including near surface data). The data period only covers 13 June-26 July 2013. To get access to a full cruise dataset, see the companion paper by Frey et al. (2019) and the DOI link.
This study was supported by NERC-funded BLOWSEA project (NE/J023051/1) and the German RV Polarstern.

Methodology:
The details of the Weddell Sea data is detailed in Frey et al. (ACP) 2019 paper. They were collected aboard the German RV Polarstern between 8 June and 12 August 2013. Ambient temperature and relatively humidity were continuously measured from the crow's nest at 29m above the sea level at 1 min interval, and wind speed and direction at 39m above sea level.
The model outputs are from a global chemistry transport model (p-TOMCAT), with a detailed SSA scheme implemented, with a horizontal resolution of 2.8◦ × 2.8◦ in 31 vertical levels. To make a direct comparison with the cruise data, model's output (in 30 min interval) were bi-linearly interpolated (in both horizontal and vertical dimensions) based on the cruise location and pressure.
For monthly mean SSA [Na] comparison, model's nearest gridbox values are used directly (without further interpolation).
