# Overview

This directory contains the output from simulations in the idealized aquaplanet GCM that were originally reported in Singh 2019, J. Atmos Sci.  The contents are as follows:

where `Omega*x` indicates the rotation rate multiplicative factor, with 1x being Earth's rotation rate.  All simulations are performed with time-invariant northern solstice insolation.  A full description of the simulation setups is available in Singh 2019.
