Global and tropical band averages for a selection of CMIP5 and CMIP6 models: piControl and abrupt-4xCO2 experiments

<p>This dataset provides post-processed spatial averages for a selection of CMIP5 and CMIP6 models. The experiments contained in this dataset are only the pre-industrial controls (piControl) and the experiments with a four-fold increase in the atmospheric CO$_{2}$ concentration in relation to the pre-industrial level (abrupt-4xCO2). The spatial averages are&nbsp;global and tropical bands from x&deg;S to x&deg;N, where the x value is between 5&nbsp;and 40 in increments of 5&deg;. This dataset was created to study climate sensitivity in general and&nbsp;the effect of stratospheric circulation changes on&nbsp;the tropical&nbsp;equilibrium climate sensitivity. It contains the following variables:</p> <ul> <li>incoming (d) short-wave (SW, s) radiative flux (RF, r) at the top of the atmosphere (TOA, t): rsdt</li> <li>outgoing (u) SW&nbsp;RF&nbsp;at TOA: rsut</li> <li>outgoing long-wave (LW, l) RF&nbsp;at TOA: rlut</li> <li>net (n) RF at TOA: rnt</li> <li>incoming SW RF at the surface (s): rsds</li> <li>outgoing SW RF at&nbsp;the surface: rsus</li> <li>incoming LW RF at the surface: rlds</li> <li>outgoing LW RF at&nbsp;the surface: rlus</li> <li>net RF at the surface: rns</li> <li>sensible heat flux (hfs) at the surface: hfss</li> <li>latent heat flux (hfl) at the surface: hfls</li> <li>surface temperature (t): ts</li> <li>atmospheric temperature: ta</li> <li>specific humidity: hus</li> <li>zonal component of&nbsp;wind: ua</li> <li>meridional component of wind: va</li> <li>lagrangian tendency of pressure (vertical&nbsp;component of wind in pressure per time&nbsp;dimensions): wap</li> <li>surface pressure: ps</li> <li>geopotential height: zg</li> </ul>
