Hunga WACCM6 (Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model v6) global data (2022-2031)
Abstract
Hunga WACCM6 global data provide simulations to investigate the evolution of Hunga volcanic water and aerosols and their impacts. It uses MAM4 aerosol model. It has nudged simulations (Exp2a) and free run simulations (Exp1). The Free run simulations has fixed SST (30 ensembles, Exp1_fixedSST) and coupled ocean (30 ensembles, Exp1_CoupledOcean). The nudged simulations are monthly average for 2022-2023, and the free run simulations are monthly average from 2022-2031. The simulations follow the protocol (Zhu et al., 2025, GMD). Contact WACCM team to get daily data.
The data are in time series with the variables requested by Zhu et al. (2025, GMD). The format is NetCDF. The grid resolution are about 1x1 degree.
The Hunga WACCM global data is produced for the APARC Hunga Impact Activity: Hunga Tonga Hunga Ha’apai Volcano Impact Model Observation Comparison (HTHH-MOC) Project and the Hunga Volcanic Eruption Atmospheric Impacts Report.

The model output covers variables based on the Chemistry-Climate Modeling Initiative (CCMI) output list with some additions specific to this study (detailed in the supplementary material in Zhu et al. 2025, GMD).
We request The 3D model output in a time series is requested on both model levels (hybrid pressure or height) and interpolated to CMIP6 plev39 grid (plev39: 1000, 925, 850, 700, 600, 500, 400, 300, 250, 200, 170, 150, 130, 115, 100, 90, 80, 70, 50, 30, 20, 15, 10, 7, 5, 3, 2, 1.5, 1 0, 0.7, 0.5, 0.4, 0.3, 0.2, 0.15, 0.1, 0.07, 0.05, 0.03 hPa) and for mesospheric analysis adding 0.02, 0.01, 0.007, 0.005, 0.003, 0.001 above the plev39 grid.
(longitude from 0˚E to 360˚E; latitude from 90˚S to 90˚N; pressure levels from 1000 hPa to 0.001 hPa or altitude from 0 meter to 140,000 meter)
