Stardust climate-model input database

Forcing and boundary-condition data used by the Stardust Labs climlab-based climate model and its 2-D stratospheric-aerosol transport extension. A versioned, expanding database — every release is permanent, so each study reproduces against its exact inputs. v0.1.0 provides the inputs for Lederer et al. (2026), "Solid-particle stratospheric aerosol injection: a 2-D modeling exploration of the design space." Eleven files: six ERA5 zonal-mean monthly fields (T & q, cloud cover, cloud water, ozone, surface params, surface SW balance); two transport drivers (TEM residual circulation + eddy diffusivity from ERA5; zonal-mean tropopause climatology); three RRTMG-banded aerosol optical-property tables (silica, sulfate (75% H₂SO₄), calcite).Every file carries a SHA-256 in deposit_manifest.json, verified on download. Generators are openly available in the stardust-2d-inputs (https://github.com/stardust-initiative/stardust-2d-inputs) repository. This dataset contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information (ERA5, 2008–2018).
