Title:  Data for "The Convection Connection:  How ocean feedbacks affect tropical mean moisture and MJO propagation."�  Journal of Geophysical Research:  Atmospheres, 2019.  Authors:  Charlotte A. DeMott, Nicholas P. Klingaman, Wan-Ling Tseng, Melissa Burt, Yingxia Gao, and David A. Randall.

Abstract:  This archive contains daily mean variables from eight model simulations used to produce figures in the above-referenced publication.

Format of data files:  zip files of netCDF-formatted data

File Information:  Each zip file contains time series of daily mean variables from 30S-30N, 30E-240E from the following simulations (see article text for full description):
* SPCAM3-CPL
* SPCAM3-ATM
* MetUM-CPL
* MetUM-ATM
* ECHAM-CPL
* ECHAM-ATM
* CNRM-CPL
* CNRM-AMT
