Selected multi-level Community Atmosphere Model version 6 (CAM6) fields from the FLOCK simulation of the Community Earth System Model version 2.0.1 (CESM2). The simulation is labeled "FLOCK" in the GRL manuscript but has a native case name of "F1850JJB_c201_CLOCK" in the file names. FLOCK is forced by prescribed pre-industrial atmospheric composition, and monthly mean sea-surface temperatures and sea ice concentrations taken from an existing pre-industrial fully coupled simulation ("CTL"). Cloud properties seen by the radiation schemeare prescribed ("locked") and are sourced from randomly selected years of a 3-year data pool comprised of Years 20-22 of CTL. One (of 3) data sets for article "Investigating the role of cloud radiative effects in subseasonal tropical disturbances" to appear in Geophysical Research Letters
