:comment = "Merged data product using WACCM (WACCM1-CESM CCMI tag34) and CMAM (CMAM simulation 964c) ozone fields. This variant is for use with the 2015-2020 extension to the historical stratospheric aerosol forcing only experiment, hist-volc, of the Detection and Attribution MIP (DAMIP). The ozone field has been constructed from the 12 month pre-industrial control ozone, with the addition of the volcanic signal. The signal was derived from multiple linear regression of the original WACCM and CMAM ozone fields (before they were merged) over 1850 - 1909, including terms for a linear trend, solar cycle, volcanic and (for WACCM) QBO effects. The regression was done using the zonal average ozone, deseasonalized by fitting four sine and cosine terms. The monthly anomalies for WACCM and CMAM were then fit to the solar cycle using the monthly 120 - 130 nm solar flux from the CMIP6 database, smoothed with a 1-2-1 filter applied 10 times, as the solar cycle proxy. Although both models did not use the same Ex-T solar flux, the timeseries were highly corrlated and the use of individual solar cycle proxies had little impact on the regression. The volcanic proxy was calculated as the average stratospheric surface area density over 30S to 30N and 16 - 28 km and was calculated separately for both WACCM and CMAM as both models did not use the same SSAD fields. WACCM also included a QBO and the QBO signal was derived by regression against the 10S - 10N average zonal winds from the WACCM simulation, with separate terms for winds at 50 and 30 hPa. A linear trend term was also included for the 1850 - 1909 fitting. All regression terms included a sine and cosine term with a period of one year to represent the seasonal dependence of the effects. See Vyushin et al., JGR, 115, doi:10.1029/2009JD013105, 2010 for a full description of the regression terms. Due to difficulties fitting both the Krakatoa (1883) and Santa Maria (1902) eruptions, the volcanic proxy was split into two separate regression terms, one for values of SSAD less than 4 um^2/cm^3 and one for values greater than 4 that was set to zero when SSAD was less than the cutoff. The signals for each model derived from the regression over 1850 - 1909 were then extrapolated for the 2015 - 2100 period using the full timeseries of each proxy. Note that the volcanic term for the future period was constructed following the scenarioMIP specification, transitioning to the 1850-2014 average annual cycle over a ten year period (2015-2024). The zonal average anomalies due to the volcanic term from each model were merged following the same approach as used for the default CCMI CMIP6 ozone database and then added on to a repeating annual cycle of 3-D ozone fields from the CMIP6 pre-industrial control." ;
