Data for: Connecting hemispheric asymmetries of planetary albedo and surface temperature

The data is processed from standard model output from CMIP5 and CMIP6 models. These are freely available: https://esgf-node.llnl.gov/search/cmip5/ https://esgf-node.llnl.gov/search/cmip6/ Definitions of acronyms can be found at: https://www.wcrp-climate.org/wgcm-cmip/wgcm-cmip6 The observed data are also freely availabe (just copied here) and documented: Morice, C.
