Written: November 29, 2019 This readme file describes the output for simulations of UFP over California carried out for 2000-2016. Note: the data is considered preliminary until the publications describing it have been finalized. The files under data/soa_v3/hourly_avg describe hourly average concentrations in the different size fractions. The NORTHCA4KM results cover the northern California domain with 4KM resolution. The SOUTHCA4KM results cover the southern California domain with 4KM resolution. Map projection information is shown below: map_proj = 'lambert', ref_lat = 37.00, ref_lon = -120.50, truelat1 = 30.0, truelat2 = 60.0, stand_lon = -120.50, The origin of 4km_scb domain is (-33km,-475km), grid dimensions are 102 X 60 The origin of 4km_sjv domain is (-225km, -211km), grid dimensions are 108 X 108. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The file format is binary. A Fortran program is available at http://169.237.114.233/data/soa/programs/read_data.f90 to read the air quality. An instruction file how_to_read_data.txt describes how to use the program. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The air quality data include gas and PM species. A complete species list is available at http://169.237.114.233/data/soa/programs/Species_list.txt ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Michael J.
