Vertical cloud radiative heating from the EC-Earth3 v3.3.1 model.

The h5 files contain variables used for the article “Vertical structure of cloud radiative heating in the tropics: confronting the EC-Earth v3.3.1/3P model with satellite observations”. The experiment was done with the EC-Earth3 model (https://portal.enes.org/models/earthsystem-models/ec-earth/ec-earth). The model run was done in atmosphere-only mode with prescribed SST for the years 2005 - 2010. Year 2005 and 2006 are considered as spin-up time and are therefore not included. The experiment is described in more detail in the article. 

The files are named as follows: model-version_resolution_year_month_variable..h5
The following variables (named after ECMWF Parameter database) from the model output are included in the dataset:
 - 107: Top of the atmosphere (TOA) SW radiation (all sky)
 - 108: TOA SW radiation (clear sky)
 - 109: TOA SW radiation (cloudy sky)
 - 110: TOA LW radiation (all sky)
 - 130: Temperature
 - 133: Specific humidity
 - 246: Specific cloud liquid water content
 - 247: Specific cloud ice water content
 - 248: Fraction of cloud cover
 - 54: Pressure

The latlon.h5 file contains the latitude and longitude for the dataset.
