Description
-------------------------------------------------
timeseries.csv: 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]. 
All variables are included twice, once on a physical scale ('_original' suffix), and once after
diurnal and seasonal adjustment. The timseries was generated using the processing code uploaded
separately on zenodo. The raw data can be downloaded freely as indicated in the paper and consist
of input raw satellite and reanalysis data from EUMETSAT (Copyright (c) (2020) EUMETSAT), NASA and
COPERNICUS data (generated using Copernicus Climate Change Service information [2022]). 

outputs: contains all of the output files from the 
2.causal_effect_estimation>1.causal_effect_analyses.ipynb notebook.
