Data for paper "Stratocumulus adjustments to aerosol perturbations disentangled with a causal approach"

Timeseries data used for the causal effect estimation of the paper "Stratocumulus adjustments to aerosol perturbations disentangled with a causal approach".

This dataset contains several cloud parameters and meteorological co-variates corresponding to the evolution of the South-East Atlantic stratocumulus deck for the time period January 2016 to December 2017 and the spatial domain [lon1,lon2,lat1,lat2]=[0, 10, -20, -10]. 

The processing code used to generate the timeseries data, as well as the analysis code are uploaded separately on Zenodo. The input raw satellite and reanalysis data for the processing code are from EUMETSAT (Copyright (c) (2020) EUMETSAT), NASA and COPERNICUS data (generated using Copernicus Climate Change Service information [2022]).
