F1850 data

Data used to create graphs shown in PAPER from the F1850 experiment. For each optics run there is a mean, count (n), and standard deviation file. These statistics are calculated over the 40 years of the model run for the variable FLDS (downwelling longwave flux at the surface).

F1850_UVnudge1980 data

Data used to create graphs shown in PAPER from the F1850_UVnudge1980 experiment. For each optics set there is a mean, count (n), and standard deviation file. These statistics are calculated over the 1 year of the model run and across all 10 ensemble members for the variable FLDS (downwelling longwave flux at the surface).

F1850_UVnudge1980-2018 data

Data used to create graphs shown in PAPER from the F1850_UVnudge1980-2018 experiment. For the variable FLDS (downwelling longwave flux at the surface), each optics set has a mean, count (n), and standard deviation file. These statistics are calculated over the 39 years of the model run and across all 3 ensemble members. For the variable T (temperature), there is only an annual mean file and the mean is calculated over the 39 years of the model run and for each ensemble member. The Target_T file represents ERA-I annual temperature over 1980 to 2018.
