Koketal_DustClimateFeedback_NCOMMS2018_Data

This repository contains the climate model data needed to produce the figures in the main text of Kok et al., Global and regional importance of the direct dust-climate feedback, Nature Communications, 2018. These data are used by the Matlab scripts provided in https://github.com/jfkok/Koketal_DustClimateFeedback_NCOMMS2018_MatlabCode

This repository includes the following data:

CESM_AVHRR_comparison.zip. This contains CESM model simulation data for the BASE-AVHRR and PHYS-AVHRR runs. This archive also contains the file tnatl.dust, which was obtained from the https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.855141 archive that accompanied Evan and Mukhopadhyay (2010). These data are used in Fig. 1a.

AERONET_data.zip. This contains the AERONET data files used in the Matlab scripts (see above) to generate Fig. 1b in the main text.

CESM_AERONET_comparison.zip. This contains the daily-averaged CESM simulation data for the BASE-AERONET and PHYS-AERONET simulations. These data are used in the Matlab scripts to produce Fig. 1b.

CLM4-CN_future.zip. This contains the annually-averaged CLM4-CN simulation data from the BASE-Future and PHYS-Future simulations. This file also contains the ECHAM5 forcing files used to drive CLM4-CN.

本仓库存储了复现Kok等人2018年发表于《自然-通讯（Nature Communications）》的论文《直接尘埃-气候反馈的全球与区域重要性（Global and regional importance of the direct dust-climate feedback）》正文中所有图表所需的气候模式数据。上述数据可通过https://github.com/jfkok/Koketal_DustClimateFeedback_NCOMMS2018_MatlabCode 中提供的Matlab脚本调用。

本仓库包含以下数据集：
1. CESM_AVHRR_comparison.zip：内含BASE-AVHRR与PHYS-AVHRR两组CESM（社区地球系统模式，Community Earth System Model）模拟数据，该压缩包同时包含文件`tnatl.dust`，该数据源自Evan与Mukhopadhyay（2010）配套的https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.855141 数据集，上述数据用于复现正文中图1a。
2. AERONET_data.zip：内含Matlab脚本（详见前述内容）生成正文中图1b所需的AERONET（气溶胶机器人网络，Aerosol Robotic Network）数据文件。
3. CESM_AERONET_comparison.zip：内含BASE-AERONET与PHYS-AERONET两组CESM模拟的逐日平均数据，上述数据用于配合Matlab脚本生成正文中的图1b。
4. CLM4-CN_future.zip：内含BASE-Future与PHYS-Future两组CLM4-CN（耦合碳氮生物地球化学过程的第四代社区陆面模式）模拟的年平均数据，同时包含用于驱动CLM4-CN的ECHAM5（欧洲汉堡大气模式5）强迫场文件。
