ACCESS1.3b model output from the Amazonian Deforestation (AMZDEF) experiment v1.0

ACCESS1.3b model output from the Amazonian Deforestation (AMZDEF) experiment v1.0. These experiments were executed by Dr Ruth Lorenz of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science (ARCCSS) as part of its research program: "The role of land surface forcing and feedbacks for regional climate".  ACCESS1.3 is a general circulation climate model developed as a collaboration between CSIRO and BoM. The 1.3b version of this model uses UM7.3 as the atmospheric component and CABLE2.0 as the land component. The ocean component is not included in this simulations. The AMZDEF simulation investigates the effect of Amazonian deforestation for the global climate between 1978-2011. More information on the model configuration used for this experiment is available on the ARCCSS Computational Modelling System wiki.
Version v1.0 of this dataset includes monthly means for air temperature at 1.5m and total precipitation, calculated from the raw model output.
