Supplementary data for "Effect of Uncertainty in Water Vapor Continuum Absorption on CO2 Forcing, Longwave Feedback, and Climate Sensitivity"

This dataset is supplementary to the article "Effect of Uncertainty in Water Vapor Continuum Absorption on CO2 Forcing, Longwave Feedback, and Climate Sensitivity".

spectral_olr.nc

This file 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.

opacity_emission_level.py

This file 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).

continuum_reference_conditions.nc

This file contains the reference continuum absorption coefficients that were used to calculate the adjustment to the foreign continuum for the single-constraint experiment.

continuum_all_profiles.nc

This file contains the reference continuum absorption coefficients that were used to calculate the adjustment to the foreign continuum for the general-constraint experiment.

modified_continuum_input_files_single_constraint.zip and modified_continuum_input_files_general_constraint.zip

These files contain the modified continuum data files used for the implementation of the MT_CKD continuum model in the line-by-line model ARTS for the single-constraint and general-constraint experiments, respectively.

tau_column.nc and tau_profile.nc

These files contain separately for each absorption species the vertically integrated opacity spectra, and the opacity profiles at two selected wavenumbers.
