Abstract
A-CURE was a NERC funded project that tackled one of the most challenging and persistent problems in atmospheric science – understanding and quantifying how changes in aerosol particles caused by anthropogenic activities affect climate. The data here are monthly mean variable data from a large perturbed parameter ensemble of UKESM1 simulations, nudged to horizontal winds above around 2km. Each variable has 220 or 221 members, as indicated in file names. Some months have one fewer member because a model variant repeatedly did not run to completion due to combined model parameter values. The 221 members are model variants that combine the effects of 54 aerosol and physical atmosphere parameters. Variable data in this ensemble span the uncertainty in UKESM1 from these parametric sources.

| Access rules: |
Public data: access to these data is available to both registered and non-registered users.
Use of these data is covered by the following licence(s): http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/ When using these data you must cite them correctly using the citation given on the CEDA Data Catalogue record. |
| Data lineage: |
Data were produced by the project team and supplied for archiving at the Centre for Environmental Data Analysis (CEDA). Data were generated using the Met Office UK Earth System Model 1 (UKESM1) at N96 horizontal resolution. Data from field files were converted to postprocessed (pp) files on the ARCHER HPC. Variable data from each model variant was extracted from pp files on the JASMIN HPC and collated into individual monthly mean files for each variable. |
| Data Quality: |
Data are as given by the data provider, no quality control has been performed by the Centre for Environmental Data Analysis (CEDA)
|
| File Format: |
The data are in NetCDF format.
