Data for: Contrasting response of precipitation to aerosol perturbation in the tropics and extra-tropics explained by energy budget considerations. Dagan et al., 2019 GRL

Data available form the simulation conducted with ICON.

The data include the different terms of the energy budget from all the different simulations presented in the paper.

ARC is the atmospheric radiative cooling, l is the precipitation, Qsh is the sensiblel heat flux and R is the residual (or the divergent term).

ref is for the reference simulation while the rest of the files denote the location of the plume, its size (in degree) and the SSA. for example:

p_40N_25_9_5.nc

continue the precipitation for the simulation with a plume located at 40N, the size of the plume is 25 degrees and the SSA=9.5.

The 3D varblees of temperature and winds are given is the files :

monmean_atm_trop_2_4aod_10deg_8ssa_3D_atm_3d_ml.nc

and:

monmean_atm_40N_2_4aod_10deg_8ssa_3D_atm_3d_ml.nc

for two different simulations with the same plume size and SSA but different plume locations (this data is used in Figs. 3 and 4 in the paper).
