This dataset is part-1 of the SST patch experiments used in Zhou et al. 2020. (It is an updated version of experiment in Zhou et al. 2017, with more simulation years and patches) The experiments are performed with CESM1.2.1 Ref: Zhou, C., J. Lu, Y. Hu, and M.D. Zelinka, 2020: Responses of the Hadley Circulation to Regional Sea Surface Temperature Changes. J. Climate, 33, 429–441, https://doi.org/10.1175/JCLI-D-19-0315.1. Each .zip file contains the 40-year average field of a specific patch experiment. The number of each file denote the patch number, 1xx denote warming patches, and 5xx denote cooling patches. For example, to calculate the response of TOA fluxes in response to SST change in the 5th patch, we can calculate the TOA differences in the spw_105 file and spw_505 file.
