Data for "The radiative effect and climate responses of present-day wildfire emissions" by Mourgela et al. (Part 2)

This repository (Part 2) contains the model output and the Python scripts required to reproduce the figures presented in Mourgela et al., “The radiative effect and climate responses of present-day wildfire emissions”. This work investigates the radiative and climate impacts of wildfire emissions at the global scale, using EC-Earth3-AerChem [1–2]. To address these objectives, we performed both atmosphere-only (pdClim-type) and fully coupled ocean–atmosphere simulations. In addition, we conducted five targeted atmosphere-only perturbation simulations in which wildfire emissions are removed from selected regions: Boreal North America, South America, Africa, Boreal & Central Asia, and Equatorial Asia. For a more detailed description of the methodology used, refer to Mourgela et al., “The radiative effect and climate responses of present-day wildfire emissions”.
