CESM2 land output data for study on hydrological impacts of large-scale forest expansion

This repository contains the land output data from CESM2 which was generated in the study investigating the hydrological impacts of global-scale forestation. The datasets cover the period 2015-2100. The files are labelled according to the experiments they were generated from (base, MF (Max Forest) and No LULCC). Output fields are as follows:

discharge_plus_runoff: surface water availability (river discharge plus surface runoff), units m^-3 s^-1

EFLX_LH_TOT: total latent heat flux from land to atmosphere, units W m^-2

QFLX_EVAP_TOT: total evapotranspiration (canopy evaporation plus canopy transpiration plus soil evaporation), units kg m^-2 s^-1

SOILLIQ: soil liquid water content, units kg m^-2

SW_surface_albedo: surface albedo, units fraction

TSA: 2m air temperature, units K

VEGWP: vegetation water potential, units m

All data were generated and processed by James A. King.
