AWARDED BY: Univeristy of Southampton
DATE OF AWARD: 2023

DESCRIPTION OF THE DATA

This thesis uses the closed-source GUMICS-4 code. A GUMICS license was provided to the University of Southampton by the Finnish Meteorological Institute, Helsinki, Finland, to run the GUMICS-4 model locally. GUMICS-4 is also available open source at https://ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov/models/GUMICS∼4-HC-1.11/ through the CCMC interface. All parameters that can be input into the open-source version of GUMICS are listed in each respective chapter of this thesis which could be used to recreate the runs described. (Note: The output of the GUMICS-CCMC code has not been verified against this output run directly with the GUMICS model). 

This dataset contains a movie created to support the description of the analysis in Chapter 4.
