Providentia’s download mode supports downloading GHOST observational data from Zenodo.

No Zenodo account is required to download the files.

Available GHOST versions

Currently, two versions of GHOST uploaded on Zenodo are available for download:

Explore network contents

To view the available data for each network, visit the Zenodo page for one of the versions, you can find the links in this section.

When scrolling down, you will find the list of available networks, where the name and the total size for each network are shown.

Zenodo Preview

Larger networks contain more NetCDF files and therefore take longer to download. Some ZIP files may take several hours to complete, depending on their size.

In order to see the ZIP file contents on the network you’re interested in, open the Files dropdown and click Preview.

Once this is done, open the dropdown named after the network. The first-level directories correspond to the resolution, and the second-level directories correspond to the species.

Zenodo File Structure

Example configuration file

For the example shown above, the corresponding configuration file is as follows:

[zenodo-AERONET_v3_lev1.5] 
ghost_version = 1.5
start_date = 20210101 
end_date = 20220101
species = absae440-870aero
network = AERONET_v3_lev1.5
resolution = daily
dl_ghost_source = zenodo

Also, another example using a lighter network with faster download times:

[zenodo-EBAS-NILU] 
ghost_version = 1.5
network = EBAS-NILU
start_date = 202001
end_date = 202101
species = sconcno3, sconco3, sconcna
resolution = daily
dl_ghost_source = zenodo
