Climate Model Outputs for Orbital Extremes During the LPIA

This dataset contains climate model outputs from idealized simulations representing different orbital extremes during the Late Paleozoic Ice Age (LPIA), performed using the Community Earth System Model version 1.2.2 (CESM1.2.2). The simulations systematically vary eccentricity, obliquity, and precession to explore their individual and combined effects on meridional climate structure and energy transport. The archive includes four folders: atm: Annual or seasonal zonal-mean climate states under various orbital configurations HC: Meridional overturning circulation diagnostics (Hadley Cell structures) T: Vertical meridional temperature profiles VQ: Meridional moisture transport fields Each folder contains 15 files, including five annual-mean fields under distinct orbital combinations and ten seasonal subsets (boreal summer and winter) for each configuration. These outputs support analysis of orbital-scale energy redistribution, Hadley circulation variability, and cryospheric responses during the LPIA.
