Monthly global grids of lidar-consistent opaque cloud fractions and altitude of attenuation 2008-2034 according to predictions from CESM2 and IPSL-CM6 GCMs
Description
Monthly global grids of opaque cloud fractions and altitude of attenuation 2008-2034 according to predictions from CESM and LMDZ GCMs.
- One file describe the CESM2 prediction (cesm.nc); one file describes the IPSL-CM6 predictions (lmdz.nc).
- Predictions from both models were obtained following the RCP8.5 scenario.
- The lidar-consistent variables were generated by the COSP lidar simulator (v1.4).
