title: Data for "The Equilibrium Climate Response to Sulfur Dioxide and Carbonaceous Aerosol Emissions from East and Southeast Asia"

description: <b>Introduction</b>These data accompany the manuscript by Grandey, Yeo, Lee, and Wang (2018), <b>The Equilibrium Climate Response to Sulfur Dioxide and Carbonaceous Aerosol Emissions from East and Southeast Asia</b>, <i>Geophysical Research Letters</i>, https://doi.org/10.1029/2018GL080127.<br>The files contain input data and output data associated with the CESM-CAM5 climate model simulations described in the manuscript.<br>Please also see https://github.com/grandey/p17d-sulphur-eas-eqm for details of the experimental design, model configuration, data management, and analysis.<br><b>Input data (<i>input_data_p17d.tar.gz</i>)</b><i>input_data_p17d.tar.gz</i>, a tar archive, contains the modified emissions data files for the simulations.<br>The scripts used to generate these files can be viewed at https://github.com/grandey/p17d-sulphur-eas-eqm/tree/master/input_data_p17d.<br><b>Output data (<i>p17d_*.nc</i>)</b>The <i>p17d_*.nc</i> NetCDF files contain a subset of the output data from the simulations. These data have been converted to time-series format using PyReshaper, as described in https://github.com/grandey/p17d-sulphur-eas-eqm/blob/master/data_management.org.<br>The file naming convention is as follows:<i>[SIMULATION].cam.h0.[VARIABLE].nc</i>where1. <i>[SIMULATION]</i> refers to a simulation casename (e.g. "p17d_b_2000"; see https://github.com/grandey/p17d-sulphur-eas-eqm/blob/master/experimental_design.org);3. <i>[VARIABLE] </i>refers to a specific variable code (e.g. "TS" is surface temperature).<br>For an example of how these data can be used, see https://github.com/grandey/p17d-sulphur-eas-eqm/tree/master/analysis_draft2018a.<br><b>NetCDF (.nc) file format</b>Most of the data files are in NetCDF format, a binary data format commonly used for climate model input and output data. These NetCDF files contain metadata which aid interpretation of the data. For example, the metadata contain a description of each output variable. The metadata and data can be explored using the free Panoply software tool (https://www.giss.nasa.gov/tools/panoply/ [accessed 2-April-2018]).<br><b>File size warning</b>Many of the NetCDF files are relatively large.<br><b>Contributors</b>B.
