Abstract: Dataset Documentation: Gridded CLaMS Simulations Driven by Multiple ReanalysesVersion: 1.0 1) Overview This dataset contains global, gridded output from the Chemical Lagrangian Model of the Stratosphere (CLaMS). The simulations were performed using two versions of the CLaMS model (v1.0 (Pommrich et al., 2014) and v3.1 (Konopka et al., 2025), see cited papers for details) driven by several major meteorological reanalysis products. The native Lagrangian output has been interpolated (gridded) onto a regular latitude-longitude grid and is provided on both pressure and isentropic (potential temperature) vertical coordinates 2) Simulations Description The dataset comprises five distinct model simulations. The temporal coverage for each simulation is listed below. Table 1: Model simulations.| CLaMS Version | Driving Reanalysis | Time Period Covered || ------------- | ------------------ | ------------------- || 3.1 | ERA5 | Jan 2004 – Dec 2023 || 1.0 | ERA5 | Jan 2004 – Jan 2023 || 1.0 | ERA-Interim | Jan 2004 – Jul 2019 || 1.0 | JRA-55 | Jan 2004 – Dec 2017 || 1.0 | MERRA-2 | Jan 2004 – Dec 2017 | 3) File Format, Missing Values, and Naming Convention Format: All files are provided in netCDF format and in five ZIP archives, one archive for each simulation. Frequency: Monthly-mean data stored in yearly files, derived from daily gridded datasets. Missing Values: 1.0e-30 (should be treated as NaN or masked before further calculations). Naming Convention: [CLaMS Version] [Reanalysis] [Longitude] [Latitude] [Vertical Coordinate] [YYYY].nc Components:[CLaMS Version]: clams v1.0 (for CLaMS version 1.0), clams v3.1 (for CLaMS version 3.1)[Reanalysis]: era5, erain, jra55, merra2[Longitude]: lon (for longitude) zm (for zonal mean)[latitude]: lat (for latitude)[Vertical Coordinate]: press (for pressure) or theta (for potential temperature)[YYYY]: Year, e.g., 2001 or 1980. Examples:clams v3.1 era5 lon lat press 2001.nc (ERA5-driven CLaMS v3.1 on pressure levels for 2001)clams v1.0 erain zm lat theta 1995.nc (ERA-Interim-driven CLaMS v1.0, zonal mean on po-tential temperature levels for 1995) 4) Grid and Coordinate System Horizontal Grid: 1° × 1° regular latitude–longitude grid.
