ADEOS/TOMS July 1999 data/ozYYYY/gaYYMMDD.a1t (YYYY = 1996, 1997) Daily gridded(g), ASCII (a) files from year YY, month MM and day DD. The data in these ASCII files are in the format used for the Nimbus-7 and Meteor-3 CD-ROM. Details of this format are explained in the ADEOS Data Products User's Guide, ADEOS_USERGUIDE.PDF, available in the parent directory of this path. A Fortran stub program, RDGRID.FOR, for reading the ASCII gridded ozone, reflectivity, and aerosol data files, is provided in this directory. The values are in 3 digit groups 111222333444555 Sample value: 234 = 234 du 0 = fill data ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- data/reflYYYY/gaYYMMDD.a1r Daily gridded reflectivity data. Format is like that for ozone data. The values are in 3 digit groups 111222333444555 Sample value: _83 = 83% 999 = fill value ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- data/aiYYYY/gaYYMMDD.a1a Daily gridded aerosol data. Format is like that for ozone data. The data are an aerosol index formed directly from the measured radiances in two TOMS channels. Positive values generally represent absorbing aerosols (dust and smoke) while negative values represent nonabsorbing aerosols. The identification is not perfect because of geophysical reasons (e.g., aerosol too low to the ground). The values are in 3 digit groups 111222333444555 The numbers have been multiplied by 10 --1 = 0.1 -11=1.1 111=11.1 999 = missing or bad data -- stands for blanks References: Herman, J.R., P.K.

These files may be read by the format statement in RDGRID.FOR, but see 1README.UV and erynotes.pdf for information about interpretation/decoding of UV data file format. The values are in 3 digit groups 111222333444555 123 = 2.3x10^1 J/m2 -23 = 2.3 --3 = 0.3 999 = missing or bad data .............................................................................. data/monthly_averages/ozone/gmYYMM.a1t This directory contains gridded monthly (gm) averages of ozone data from year YY and month MM. At least 20 days of data must be available for monthly averages to be considered valid. Monthly averages for aerosol, UV and reflectivity are also provided in directories located in a path structure similar to that for ozone. The Fortran statements that wrote the data records of these monthly files are: DO 570 IL=1,180 DO 560 jj=1,288 560 OZONE(JJ)=ozav(JJ,IL) write(21,'(1X,25I3)') (OZONE(jj),jj=1,275) write(21,'(1X,13I3,1A17)') (OZONE(jj),jj=276,288), latlab(IL) 570 CONTINUE ............................................................................... data/overpass/OVPxxx.a1t A subset (seconds UT, latitude, longitude, total ozone, surface reflectivity, solar zenith angle, aerosol index and SOI index) of ADEOS data specific to a particular latitude-longitude location. xxx designates a numerical site location as listed in the ASCII file "1Sitelist" in this directory. Fortran statements that can be used to read the 1st header record and the data records in the OVPxxx files are the following: For the header record: CHARACTER*28 site_name INTEGER*4 site_id, site_alt REAL*4 site_lat, site_lon Read(lun,2) site_name, site_id, site_lat,site_lon, site_alt 2 Format(A30,4X,I3,7X,F7.2,7X,F7.2,7X,I4) and for the data records: Format(F7.1,1X,I4,1X,I3,1X,I5,2X,I2,1X,F6.2,1X,F7.2,1X, I3,1X,I3,1X,F5.2,1X,F5.1,1X,F5.1,1X,F6.2,1X,I4) 1README, in this directory, provides more information about the OVPxxx files. ............................................................................... data/zonal_means/ozone/zm_month.ept and zmday_YY.ept Zonal means files. File zm_month.a1t contains monthly averages of zonal mean column ozone over each 5 degrees of latitude for each year of ADEOS operation. Additional files, named "zmday_YY.a1t" (YY=96, 97) provide ozone zonal means on a daily basis. At least 2/3 of the possible data must be present for a zonal mean to be considered valid. Zonal means for aerosol, UV and reflectivity are also provided in directories located in a similar path structure as that for ozone. The Fortran statements that wrote the header and data records of file zm_month are the following: CHARACTER*69 MONLAB Data MONLAB/'Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep & Oct Nov Dec'/ do 20 j=1,37 lat(j)=-95 + 5*j 20 continue write(22,'(8x,A69)') MONLAB DO 300 IZ=1,36 write(22,'(I3,I4,12f6.1)') lat(IZ),lat(IZ+1),(ozm(IM,IZ),IM=1,12) 300 CONTINUE write(22,'(I3,I4,12f6.1)') -65,0,(ozm(IM,37),IM=1,12) write(22,'(I3,I4,12f6.1)') 0,65,(ozm(IM,38),IM=1,12) write(22,'(I3,I4,12f6.1)') -65,65,(ozm(IM,39),IM=1,12) The Fortran statement that wrote the data records of the zmday_YY files is: write(21,'(A12,F9.3,1X,36F6.1,3X,3F6.1)') date,yd,zmd ..............................................................................
