Description

This repository contains the climate model data needed to produce the figures in the main text of Kok et al., Global and regional importance of the direct dust-climate feedback, Nature Communications, 2018. These data are used by the Matlab scripts provided in https://github.com/jfkok/Koketal_DustClimateFeedback_NCOMMS2018_MatlabCode

This repository includes the following data:

  • CESM_AVHRR_comparison.zip. This contains CESM model simulation data for the BASE-AVHRR and PHYS-AVHRR runs. This archive also contains the file tnatl.dust, which was obtained from the https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.855141 archive that accompanied Evan and Mukhopadhyay (2010). These data are used in Fig. 1a.
  • AERONET_data.zip. This contains the AERONET data files used in the Matlab scripts (see above) to generate Fig. 1b in the main text.
  • CESM_AERONET_comparison.zip. This contains the daily-averaged CESM simulation data for the BASE-AERONET and PHYS-AERONET simulations. These data are used in the Matlab scripts to produce Fig. 1b.
  • CLM4-CN_future.zip. This contains the annually-averaged CLM4-CN simulation data from the BASE-Future and PHYS-Future simulations. This file also contains the ECHAM5 forcing files used to drive CLM4-CN.
