Datasets used in analysis for article " Vegetation Growth Responses to Extreme Drought Events during 2001-2016 in Southwest China"

This dataset hosts data supporting the analysis performed in the article titled "Vegetation Responses to Extreme Drought Events during 2001-2016 in Southwest China". This dataset includes data and code supporting the results section and supplementary figures in this paper. The code was written using NCAR Command Language (NCL), developed by the Computational and Information Systems Lab at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). It is worth noting that this version updates the CLM5.0 simulation results, and the results of the remaining datasets can be found in version 2. In this version, we conducted test simulations for CLM5.0 with adjustment of several key parameters and the surface file. Then we selected the best-performing simulation (which reduced both LAI and GPP RMSE by 14.81%-43.95%) to analyze vegetation responses to different drought events. Both LAI and GPP simulations were improved. We then updated the results based on the new simulation with the best performance.
