Model simulation data for the climate impacts of large-scale wind and solar farms in the Sahara and the world's deserts

DOI: 10.1126/science.aar5629 File description: 1. The "experiment_diff" folderThis folder includes data for the climate impacts of different wind and solar farms experiments.

The impacts are the differences in climate averaged from 1951 to 2010. These experiments include: ExpWind0 : impacts of wind farm in the Sahara ExpSolar0 : impacts of solar farm in the Sahara ExpWindSolar0 : impacts of wind and solar farms in the Sahara ExpWindG : impacts of wind farm in the global desert ExpSolarG : impacts of solar farm in the global desert ExpWindSolarG : impacts of wind and solar farms in the global desert ExpWind1: impacts of wind farm in the northwest quarter of the Sahara ExpWind2: impacts of wind farm in the northeast quarter of the Sahara ExpWind3: impacts of wind farm in the southeast quarter of the Sahara ExpWind4: impacts of wind farm in the southwest quarter of the Sahara ExpWindmosaic0: impacts of checkerboard A wind farm in the Sahara ExpWindmosaic1: impacts of checkerboard B wind farm in the Sahara wmask.nc: wind or solar farm locations in the Sahara wmask_g.nc: wind or solar farm location in the global desert Contact: Yan Li, yanli.geo@gmail.com
