A-CURE: Monthly mean perturbed parameter ensemble data

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.
