Cloud feedback maps from CMIP5 and CMIP6 models

<p>This repository contains maps of cloud feedbacks computed using up to three methodologies from two types of experiments conducted across CMIP5 and CMIP6 models.</p> <p>Methods:</p> <ul> <li>The approximate partial radiative perturbation technique (shortwave cloud feedbacks only), denoted with 'APRP' in filename.&nbsp;</li> <li>The adjusted change in cloud radiative effect, denoted with 'adjCRE' in filename.&nbsp;</li> <li>The cloud radiative kernel method, in files without 'APRP' or 'adjCRE' in the name.&nbsp;</li> </ul> <p>Experiments:</p> <ul> <li>amip+4K experiments, known as amip4K and amip-p4K in CMIP5 and CMIP6, respectively</li> <li>abrupt CO2 quadrupling experiments, known as abrupt4xCO2 and abrupt-4xCO2 in CMIP5 and CMIP6, respectively</li> </ul> <p>Data formats:</p> <ul> <li>For cloud feedbacks derived using APRP and adjCRE methods, all models' maps are contained within single netcdf files.</li> <li>For cloud feedbacks derived using cloud radiative kernels, Individual netcdf files are provided for each model, which are compressed into a zip file.</li> </ul>
