Description

This dataset contains the spectral outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) calculated using the line-by-line radiative transfer model ARTS and the radiative-convective equilibrium model konrad. It contains spectral OLR for surface temperatures from 270K to 330K for different strengths of the water vapor continuum absorption (spectral_olr.nc).

The dataset also contains the spectrally resolved optical depth and the emission level of outgoing longwave radiation for the considered absorption species (H2O lines, H2O continuum, H2O self continuum, H2O foreign continuum, CO2, N2, and O2) (opacity_emission_level.py).

All data are given in the spectral range from 10cm-1 to 3,250cm-1.

This dataset is supplementary to the article "Effect of Uncertainty in Water Vapor Continuum Absorption on Radiative Forcing, Longwave Feedback and Climate Sensitivity" that has been submitted to Geophysical Research Letters (GRL).
