Providentia can understand the ACTRIS vocabulary for some species and an error will be thrown for those who can be mapped to multiple GHOST species (e.g. aerosol particle optical depth). The mapping is provided in the GHOST–ACTRIS species mapping section.

Available resolutions

These are the available temporal resolutions:

  • hourly (time_coverage_resolution: P0000-00-00T01:00:00)

  • 3hourly (time_coverage_resolution: P0000-00-00T03:00:00)

  • daily (time_coverage_resolution: P0000-00-01T00:00:00)

  • monthly (time_coverage_resolution: P0000-01-00T00:00:00)

Example configuration file

[ACTRIS]
framework = actris/actris
species = ozone mass concentration

end_date = 20190101
observations_data_label = Ozone Mass Concentration

GHOST–ACTRIS species mapping

Here is the mapping between GHOST variable names and the ACTRIS vocabulary. The species that have an asterisk at the end can only be passed to the configuration file using the BSC conventions (name to the left).
