This dataset contains model results and satellite-based research retrievals associated with the manuscript submitted in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics Journal, titled, " Improved Simulations of Biomass Burning Aerosol Optical Properties and Lifetimes in the NASA GEOS Model during the ORACLES-I Campaign".

There were multiple NASA GEOS global model simulations performed for this study. Following are the name of the simulation and their description corresponding to the file names within this dataset:

1. Baseline: Default version of the GEOS model
2. Smoke Age: Default version of the GEOS model run with biomass burning OA tagged by day of the week it was emitted.
3. Smoke Composition: Default version of the GEOS model run with biomass burning OA tagged by type of vegetation burned.
4. OA-loss: Hydrophilic OA from biomass burning is assigned a 6-day e-folding loss time; OA from biomass burning sources is enhanced 60%, BC from biomass burning sources is enhanced 15%.
5. OA-loss+updated optics: As in OA-loss but with updated aerosol optical properties.

The zip file also includes sample python codes to calculate regime mean SWCRE/LWCRE for the study of observational CRE feedback (Jin et al. 2023, J. of Climate, submitted).

This Hailstorm research project seeks to address knowledge gaps in the severe hail climatology using regional to global scale satellite observations and provides mechanisms to explore related datasets.

Cloud-Precipitation Hybrid Regimes with MODIS C6.1 2D joint histogram of CTP and COT (total 42 bins) and IMERG v06B precipitation histogram (total 6 bins) derived in 15S-15N domain.
This version is for precip weight=1, so cloud:precip = 7:1 ratio. (See details in Jin et al. 2021, https://doi.org/10.1175/JAMC-D-20-0253.1)

The dataset is composed of one netCDF file, which includes centroids, CPR-numbers-on-map for Terra, Aqua, and TAmean, and UTC info for Terra and Aqua observations (2002.07.16 to 2021.09.29).

There are three kinds of files are in one zip file.
1) Cloud-Precipitation (hybrid) regime information projected onto hourly IMERG precipitation data (Version Pr6x7 in 15S-15N, 2000.06.01-2021.06.29 (7699 days), 24 steps per day, -24.5 to 24.5N (nlat=50), and -179.5 to 179.5 (nlon=360); Binary, 2-byte integer)
2) Example python codes to calculate ABCOP and other organization metrics
3) Calculated organization metrics in select domain from CPR data (#1)

This data set includes GEOSCCM simulations of zonal wind, meridional wind, and ozone at 100 hPa in a control and 4xCO2 simulations.

The datasets contain the retrieved aerosol and ocean color properties from AirHARP measurements using the FastMAPOL algorithm and adaptive data screening (MAPDS). One open ocean scene is included with cirrus cloud adaptive screened:
ACEPOL_AIRHARP.20171023201049.L2.FastMAPOLV1.3.nc

Details of the retrieval and data screening algorithm are available in the publication titled "Adaptive Data Screening for Multi-Angle Polarimetric Aerosol and Ocean Color Remote Sensing Accelerated by Deep Learning" (https://doi.org/10.3389/frsen.2021.757832)

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate damage in brain and eye in a ground-based model for spaceflight which includes prolonged unloading and low-dose radiation. Low-dose/Low-dose-rate (LDR) gamma-radiation using 57Co plates (0.04 Gy) was delivered whole-body to mature 6-month old female C57BL/6 mice to simulate the radiation component. Anti-orthostatic tail suspension was used to model the unloading fluid shift and physiological stress aspects of the microgravity component. Mice were hindlimb suspended and/or irradiated for 21 days. Tissues were collected at 7 days 1 4 and 9 months following simulated microgravity. Herein we proposed to use omics-based molecular phenotyping approach for identification and characterization of genomic signatures in multiple organ system associated with low-dose radiation and simulated microgravity.

The wild type WS plants and the Sku5 mutant plants in the WS background were germinated on ISS or on the ground and the gene expression profiles in roots at 4 days or 8 days were established. The Sku5 gene (AT4G12420) codes for a multi-copper oxidase-like protein SKU5 protein that is involved in directed root tip growth. The Sku5 protein is glycosylated GPI-anchored and localizes to the plasma membrane and the cell wall. The Sku5 gene is expressed most strongly in expanding tissues. The development of WS and Sku5 plants on orbit differs from that on the ground as demonstrated by the comparison of the gene expression profiles between 4 days old to 8 days old plant in the two environments. However the development of Sku5 mutant plants also differs from WS at either age and in either environment suggesting the role of the genetic background in these developmental decisions. The 4 days old Sku5 roots in orbit engaged substantially more genes than the 4 days old WS roots in orbit but also more than the 4 days old Sku5 roots on the ground. Overall the 4 days old roots differentially expressed more genes in spaceflight relative to ground than the 8 days old roots of either genotype. Finally the 4 days old Sku5 roots in orbit differ in 862 genes from the 8 days Sku5 roots in orbit while on the ground there is merely half of the number of genes differentially expressed between the 4 days and 8 days developmental stages of the Sku5 roots. APEX03-2 (Advanced Plant Experiment 03-2) also identified as TAGES-Isa (Transgenic Arabidopsis Gene Expression System xe2 x80 x94Intracellular Signaling Architecture) was launched on SpaceX mission CRS-5 on 10 January 2015. Dry sterilized Arabidopsis seeds were planted aseptically on the surface of 10-cm2 solid media plates and remained dormant until removed from cold stowage and exposed to light at the initiation of the experiment on the ISS (International Space Station). The plates were grown in the Vegetable Production System (VPS/Veggie) hardware on the Columbus Module of the ISS with the overhead LED lighting of the VPS. At four or for the second experimental set at eight days seedlings were harvested by an astronaut into KFT (Kennedy Fixation Tube) containing RNAlater solutions. Upon return to Earth the harvested material was used to compare the transcriptomes of each genotype and each age using RNAseq technology. The patterns of gene expression was compared between treatments (spaceflight versus ground control) within each genotype of same age or between two ages within same genotype and within same treatment. For 4 day old roots 5-8 roots were combined to serve as one biological replica. For 8 day old roots 2-3 roots were used to form one biological replica. In each case the four biological replicas were used for the transcriptomic analysis.
