ClimKern Kernel & Data Repository

ClimKern Kernel and Data Repository

New in v1.2:

An error was discovered in the HadGEM2 clear-sky surface albedo kernel. Please use v1.2 or later for that specific kernel.

What's stored here?

This Zenodo repository contains two types of data to be used by the ClimKern

 Python package. The subdirectory /kernels/ contains 12 radiative kernels generously

 contributed by various research groups. The other directory /tutorial_data/ contains

 sample Community Earth System Model v1 output for testing purposes.
