Collection of scripts to calculate climatologies of all-sky and clear-sky radiative heating, and hence atmospheric cloud-radiative heating, from CloudSat/Calipso. Data from 2B-FLXHR-LIDAR is used.
The climatology of cloud-radiative heating is used in Voigt et al., ACP, 2024, Atmospheric cloud-radiative heating in CMIP6 and observations, and its response to surface warming.
The Readme.md provides instructions on how to use the scripts and the content of the repository.
The repo is accessible to the public also at https://gitlab.phaidra.org/climate/cloudsat-calipso-heating-rates. The archived version here is commit 51cc756093eeb3c18eff2a662207d4630c8b4f98 of that gitlab repo.
