NIALL: Chemical Ablation Model version 3 (CABMOD3) simulations of metal ablation from meteoroids
Abstract
This dataset contains Chemical Ablation Model version 3 (CABMOD3) simulations of metal ablation from meteoroids.
This experiment was undertaken as part of Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) First study of the global Nickel and Aluminium Layers in the upper atmosphere (NIALL) project (NE/P001815/1). This project aimed to make the first ever study of Ni and Al chemistry in the mesosphere/lower thermosphere.

Process overview
| Title | Chemical Ablation Model (CABMOD) |
| Abstract | CABMOD computes the temperature, velocity, altitude and elemental composition as a function of time for a particle entering the Earth’s atmosphere with a given initial velocity, size and zenith angle. At each iteration, the ablation into the gas phase of elemental and molecular species is calculated. |
