30 ERA5-PRP files:

2 files: '2000_2020-allsky_small.nc' and '2000_2020-clearsky_small.nc'

• all input quantities varying

2 files: 'clim-allsky-clim-var-all.nc' and 'clim-clearsky-clim-var-all.nc'

• all input quantities at climatology

13 files: 'clim-var'

• Input quantity X at climatology, rest varying
• X = clouds, q, fal, skt, t, ghg, or o3. Fluxes computed in clear-sky and all-sky, apart from clouds which will only have all-sky.

13 files: 'clim-except-var'

• Input quantity X varying, rest at climatology
• X = clouds, q, fal, skt, t, ghg, or o3. Fluxes computed in clear-sky and all-sky, apart from clouds which will only have all-sky.
