Cloud feedback maps from CMIP5 and CMIP6 models

This repository contains maps of cloud feedbacks computed using up to three methodologies from two types of experiments conducted across CMIP5 and CMIP6 models.

Methods:

The approximate partial radiative perturbation technique (shortwave cloud feedbacks only), denoted with 'APRP' in filename. 

The adjusted change in cloud radiative effect, denoted with 'adjCRE' in filename. 

The cloud radiative kernel method, in files without 'APRP' or 'adjCRE' in the name. 

Experiments:

amip+4K experiments, known as amip4K and amip-p4K in CMIP5 and CMIP6, respectively

abrupt CO2 quadrupling experiments, known as abrupt4xCO2 and abrupt-4xCO2 in CMIP5 and CMIP6, respectively

Data formats:

For cloud feedbacks derived using APRP and adjCRE methods, all models' maps are contained within single netcdf files.

For cloud feedbacks derived using cloud radiative kernels, Individual netcdf files are provided for each model, which are compressed into a zip file.
