CESM1CAM5 global coupled climate model ensemble simulations 1850-1979. All forcing and regional aerosol experiments (SST, precipitation, AOD, MOC)

Monthly sea surface temperature (SST), aerosol optical depth (AOD), precipitation (PRECIP), and Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC) data from historical experiments (1850-1979) with the global coupled model CESM1-CAM5.<br>The data are from three experiments with 8 members each:<br>1) a CMIP5 standard all-forcing experiments (BTAL, in the publication ALL) <br><br>2) an experiment with all forcings except anthropogenic aerosol emissions from North America (BTALnNA, in the publication noNA, 8 members) and<br><br>3) an experiment with all forcings except anthropogenic aerosol emissions from Europe (BTALnEU, in the publication NoEU, 8 members) are kept at pre-industrial levels.<br>For more details on the model configuration, details of the modified emissions, and the definitions of the North American and European region, respectively, see reference:<br>Undorf, S., M.
