These data are held by the BADC for the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) Molecular Spectroscopy Facility (MSF). MSF provides world-class scientific equipment and support for infrared (IR),visible, and ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy. The MSF laboratories are used by many UK and international customers in a wide range of research and development programmes. The data are spectra of various atmospheric gases. These data are public.

This dataset contains Meteoric Ablation Simulator (MASI) sodium and nickel ablation experimental data, where samples were heated in vacuum chamber with Na and Ni and detected by laser induced fluorescence. The data are Laser induced fluorescence (LIF) profiles of Ni and Na from ablating particles (powdered meteorite or meteorite proxy). 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.

This dataset contains summary 3-year time-integrated data of the global mean volcanic stratospheric aerosol optical depth, effective radiative forcing and anomalous deposited sulfate on Antarctica and Greenland. The data are from 82 model simulations of volcanic eruptions that have different sulfur dioxide emissions, eruption latitudes and emission altitudes. Two ensembles were conducted for eruptions starting in January and July. Each simulation was run for ~3 years in a year 2000 timeslice condition. The simulations are from the Unified Model coupled with the United Kingdom Chemistry and Aerosol Scheme (UM-UKCA) and were conducted at a global resolution of 1.875 ° x 1.25°. This data were collected as part of the NERC Reconciling Volcanic Forcing and Climate Records throughout the Last Millennium (Vol-Clim) project. V3 is the latest data file to use.

This dataset contains summary data (global monthly mean) of the volcanic stratospheric aerosol optical depth, effective radiative forcing, instantaneous radiative forcing and rapid adjustments from 82 model simulations of volcanic eruptions that have different sulfur dioxide emissions, eruption latitudes and emission altitudes. Two ensembles were conducted for eruptions starting in January and July. Each simulation was run for 38 months post eruption in a year 2000 timeslice condition. Unified Model- United Kingdom Chemistry and Aerosols Model simulations were conducted at a global resolution of 1.875° x 1.25°. One file is included for each eruption. Simulation IDs as specified by the Unified Model User Interface are included in each file name. Eruption details are included as global attributes. This data were collected as part of the NERC Reconciling Volcanic Forcing and Climate Records throughout the Last Millennium (Vol-Clim) project.

Airborne atmospheric measurements from core and non-core instrument suites data on board the FAAM BAE-146 aircraft during flight 3 for International Transport of Ozone and Precursors (ITOP) project.

This dataset contains semi-structure qualitative interview transcripts (n=30) with women in Greater Manchester, about how they conceptualize air pollution and envision a city with clean air. This data has been fully anonymized by the author. The data collection took place between 2018 and 2019. Interviews were designed to last approximately 1h. The questioning route received full ethical approval from Manchester Metropolitan University Academic Ethics Committee. Participants were recruited following a purposive sampling technique, assuring that the people being interviewed are relevant to the research question and that different segments of the population are interviewed. This was complemented with a snowball sampling technique to expand the sample size of relevant interviewees. Before the interviews started, the background of the researcher, the project, as well as the structure of the interviews were explained to the participants, and verbal consent was asked to proceed with the interview, to record, and to use the data in the form of papers or conference presentations, as well as to make the data publicly available. The interviews were composed of two sections. The first part gathered data in relation to socio-demographic factors to make sure that women with different backgrounds were represented (i.e. age, ethnicity, nationality, number of children, occupation, co-habitation, responsibility for unpaid work, carbon footprint, and main form of transport). The second part contained questions about the present of air pollution and about the future of Greater Manchester and cleaner air. The questions were: (1) How do you feel when you hear the term air pollution? (2) How would you describe air pollution in your own words? (3) Which of your daily activities contribute to air pollution the most? (4) Is air pollution a concern for you? (5) Do you think Greater Manchester is polluted, and do you recognize any places as being more polluted than others? (6) When you decide on a form of transport, what do you value most? (7) How do you feel when you hear a city with clean air? (8) How would you describe a city with clean air? (9) If you could change anything in Greater Manchester, so that it becomes a city with clean air, what would you change? Sample description: 30 women in Greater Manchester. Age: < 40 (14 participants), 40-60 (11 participants), > 60 (5 participants). Nationality: British (23 participants), Other nationalities (7 participants). Ethnicity: White (25 participants) Other ethnic groups (5 participants). Occupation: Policy-maker (3 participants), Teacher (4 participants), University lecturer or researcher (6 participants), Student (2 participants), Environmental manager (2 participants), Business professional (3 participants), Architect (1 participants), Service and sales worker (3 participants), Retired (6 participants). Children: Yes (17 participants), No (13 participants). Responsibility for unpaid work: Myself (9 participants), 50% - 50% split (6 participants), Me > 50% (10 participants), Me < 50% (5 participants). Co-habitation: Alone (4 participants), Partner (16 participants), Partner and children (6 participants), Children (3 participants), Flatmate (1 participants). Main form of transport: Car (11 participants), Walk (9 participants), Public transport (6 participants), Bike (4 participants). Carbon footprint: High (23 participants), Low (7 participants). ",
