Sulfuric acid proxy calculation using coefficients derived from four contrasting environments
A plug-and-play MATLAB code used to calculate the sulfuric acid proxy concentration at any location around the world given that the precursor concentrations are available (SO2, global radiation, condensation sink, O3, alkenes) and the concentration of these precursors lies within the range of precursors measured at one of the locations studied in Dada et al. (2020).
