The radiative kernels for Isca v1.0, in which the basic states are from simulations (T42, 25 vertical levels) without sea ice and clouds. Here we provided radiative kernels for a hierarchy of radiation schemes in Isca, including: Frierson scheme (gray radiation scheme without water vapor feedback): temperature radiative kernel at the top of the atmosphere (TOA) and surface temperature radiative kernel. Byrne and O'Gorman (BOG) scheme (gray radiation scheme, but with water vapor feedback): temperature and water vapor radiative kernels at TOA and surface temperature radiative kernel. RRTM scheme (full radiation scheme): Similar as the BOG scheme, but only zonal mean results. The scripts to calculate the offline radiative kernels can be found at: https://github.com/lqxyz/Isca_kernels, and the input data is available at DOI:10.5281/zenodo.4071837.
