Analysis code for paper: Changes in clouds and thermodynamics under solar geoengineering and implications for required solar reduction

Analysis and plotting scripts for paper by R.D. Russotto and T.P. Ackerman in Atmos. Chem. Phys. special issue on the Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project.

(new version: adds "shellKernelCalculations.py", which had been accidentally omitted from the upload)

DOI for paper: 10.5194/acp-2018-345

Python code was written by Rick Russotto. The APRP.py module was based in part on Matlab scripts provided by Yen-Ting Hwang. The vertical regridding code was based in part on the "convert_sigma_to_pres" algorithm by Dan Vimont, available at http://www.aos.wisc.edu/~dvimont/matlab/.

If you use any of this code, please acknowledge where it came from.

Python scripts were run using Python 2.7.9. Versions of packages used: 
-Matplotlib 1.5.1 
-NumPy 1.8.2 
-NetCDF4 1.1.0
