Software Model simulations were conducted using WRF version 3.8.1 (available at https://github.com/NCAR/WRFV3) and CMAQ version 5.2.1 (available at https://github.com/USEPA/CMAQ). The meteorological and concentration fields created using these models are too large to archive on ScienceHub, approximately 1 TB, and are archived on EPA’s high performance computing archival system (ASM) at /asm/MOD3APP/pcc/02.NOAH.v.CLM.v.PX/. Figures Figures 1 – 6 and Figure 8: Created using the NCAR Command Language (NCL) scripts (https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/get_started.shtml). NCLD code can be downloaded from the NCAR website (https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/) at no cost. The data used for these figures are archived on EPA’s ASM system and are available upon request. Figures 7, 8b-c, 8e-f, 8h-i, and 9 were created using the AMET utility developed by U.S. EPA/ORD. AMET can be freely downloaded and used at https://github.com/USEPA/AMET. The modeled data paired in space and time provided in this archive can be used to recreate these figures. The data contained in the compressed zip files are organized in comma delimited files with descriptive headers or space delimited files that match tabular data in the manuscript.

Data sets include information on emissions of air pollutants, description of 3-D meteorological state of the atmosphere, and output from the CMAQ model over the northern hemisphere and contiguous U.S. This dataset is not publicly accessible because: This research was conducted a part of the primary author's Ph.D. dissertation at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. All data sets were created on the UNC computers and are housed there. Since the data sets are not directly available to the EPA investigator, they are not included in ScienceHub. It can be accessed through the following means: Data sets can be accessed by contacting Dr. Sarav Arunachalam at UNC - sarav@email.unc.edu. Format: Model input (3D meteorological fields and 3D emission files) and output are in netcdf format. Observational data sets used are publicly available and typically available as ascii files.

DC3_Miscellaneous_NSF-GV-HIAPER_Data are miscellaneous data collected onboard the DC-8 aircraft during the Deep Convective Clouds and Chemistry (DC3) field campaign. This product features data from the Global Forecast System (GFS) model. Data collection for this product is complete. The Deep Convective Clouds and Chemistry (DC3) field campaign sought to understand the dynamical, physical, and lightning processes of deep, mid-latitude continental convective clouds and to define the impact of these clouds on upper tropospheric composition and chemistry. DC3 was conducted from May to June 2012 with a base location of Salina, Kansas. Observations were conducted in northeastern Colorado, west Texas to central Oklahoma, and northern Alabama in order to provide a wide geographic sample of storm types and boundary layer compositions, as well as to sample convection. DC3 had two primary science objectives. The first was to investigate storm dynamics and physics, lightning and its production of nitrogen oxides, cloud hydrometeor effects on wet deposition of species, surface emission variability, and chemistry in anvil clouds. Observations related to this objective focused on the early stages of active convection. The second objective was to investigate changes in upper tropospheric chemistry and composition after active convection. Observations related to this objective focused on the 12-48 hours following convection. This objective also served to explore seasonal change of upper tropospheric chemistry. In addition to using the NSF/NCAR Gulfstream-V (GV) aircraft, the NASA DC-8 was used during DC3 to provide in-situ measurements of the convective storm inflow and remotely-sensed measurements used for flight planning and column characterization. DC3 utilized ground-based radar networks spread across its observation area to measure the physical and kinematic characteristics of storms. Additional sampling strategies relied on lightning mapping arrays, radiosondes, and precipitation collection. Lastly, DC3 used data collected from various satellite instruments to achieve its goals, focusing on measurements from CALIOP onboard CALIPSO and CPL onboard CloudSat. In addition to providing an extensive set of data related to deep, mid-latitude continental convective clouds and analyzing their impacts on upper tropospheric composition and chemistry, DC3 improved models used to predict convective transport. DC3 improved knowledge of convection and chemistry, and provided information necessary to understanding the processes relating to ozone in the upper troposphere.
