This dataset consists of a vector layer (based on 1 by 1degree grid), of modelled ozone flux (POD1IAM, mmol m-2), The values per grid cell are Phytotoxic Ozone Dose above a threshold of y (y=1 nmol m−2 sec−1 in this case) for use in large-scale Integrated Assessment Modelling (IAM). The accumulated flux value per 90-day grassland growing season (mid-April to mid-July) is provided per grid cell, for the year 2018, across the UK and USA.

Provenance & quality

The ozone flux data are an output of the global EMEP (European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme) chemical transport model (version 4.45). The model uses the Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model (4.2.2) to calculate hourly 3D meteorological data for the year 2018. The emissions data used as model inputs were based on the IIASA ECLIPSE v6a (Evaluating the Climate and Air Quality Impacts of Short-Lived Pollutants) GAINS (Greenhouse gas – Air pollution Interactions and Synergies) model for the year 2015.
Flux values are calculated from modelled hourly stomatal uptake and accumulated during daylight hours. Daily values were then summed for the 90-day grassland growing season (mid-April to mid-July), in the year 2018, for the UK and USA. Output data from the EMEP-WRF model go through a process of quality assurance/control before use in subsequent analyses.
