UKCA Chemistry and Aerosol Tutorials for UM8.4

The following tutorials will teach you how to use various aspects of UKCA, and the parts of the UMUI (Unified Model User Interface) that are specific to UKCA.

General use of the UMUI and UKCA:

  1. Running existing UKCA Job
  2. Exploring the UMUI
  3. What is STASH?
  4. Adding new chemical tracers
  5. Adding new emissions
  6. Adding new chemical reactions
  7. Adding dry deposition of chemical species
  8. Adding wet deposition of chemical species
  9. Adding new UKCA chemical diagnostics
  10. Examining Aerosol Optical Depth changes
  11. Changing the aerosol configuration
  12. Diagnosing the radiative effect of aerosols
  13. Example Rose Suite at vn10.2

The slides from the face-to-face workshop run in March 2014 can be found here: Pdficon small.png UKCA Tutorial Slides Info circle.png

When you have completed these Tutorials please consider completing the User Feedback Survey.

These tutorials are an update and expansion of the UKCA & UMUI Tutorials which were at UM8.2. All the content is the same (although possibly in a slightly different order), but with additions for aerosol processes.


This tutorial has been funded by the ACITES Atmospheric Chemistry Modelling Network.
