Description

See the README_vrcesm_data file for full details of files contained within this zipped folder. There are 10 netcdf files and NetCDF file descriptions: 1. vrcesm_ablation_zones.nc: mean ablation zone in the domain in HIST and FUT 2. vrcesm_ex_contribution_to_seas_smb_DJFM.nc & vrcesm_ex_contribution_to_seas_smb_JJAS.nc: Fractional contribution of extreme precipitation days to seasonal positive/negative SMB 3. vrcesm_hist_ex_neg_smb_days_anoms_JJAS.nc, vrcesm_hist_ex_pos_smb_days_anoms_JJAS.nc, vrcesm_fut_ex_neg_smb_days_anoms_JJAS.nc, vrcesm_fut_ex_pos_smb_days_anoms_JJAS.nc: Mean SMB-related variable anomalies relative to ± 15 days CSV File Descriptions: 1. vrcesm_mean_monthly_ex_precip_accum.csv: mean monthly precipitation accumulations from extreme precipitation days for each subregion 2. vrcesm_ex_and_nonex_monthly_rainfrac (folder with 9 files): mean monthly rain fraction for extreme and non-extreme precipitation in each subregion. Each csv file is for a single subregion. 3. vrcesm_ex_nonex_scatter_data (folder with 18 files): yearly seasonal mean SMB on extreme and non-extreme days from HIST and FUT. Each csv file is for a single subregion for DJFM or JJAS.
