The netcdf files provided here contain the last 100 years of simulation output from an ensemble of tropical forest simulations of the Functionally Assembled Terrestrial Ecosystem Simulator (FATES) at Barro Colorado Island, Panama. The simulations are described in the following paper, which should be used as the citation for this dataset:

%%% Data description

There is one control simulation at 400ppm co2, and a set of parallel experiment simulations at 800ppm co2. Within each file there are multiple simulations (contained in the record dimension). For each set of simulatons there are two files, labeled with 'h0' and 'h1'. The h0 files contain monthly output of most variables, and the h1 files contain annual output of additional variables. The experiments were repeated for each of three parameter sets labeled 'ce1','ce2','ce3'.

More information about the three parameter sets can be found in this document, with parameter data archived (http://hdl.handle.net/1773/43779):

Chapter 4: "Within-canopy gradient of specific leaf area improves simulation of tropical forest structure and functioning in a demographic vegetation model." http://hdl.handle.net/1773/44061. 

The original simulations were completed for 3500 years for experiments and 700 years for the control. This archive contains the last 100 years of output which was used for analysis in Kovenock et al. 2020 (reference above).

The summarized statistics in the paper use the following simulations: 
% CC - CTRL			= sim 2 - sim 1					= exp 1 - ctrl
% avg(-Narea) - CC 	= mean(sims 3,4,6,9) - sim 2    = exp (14,26,47,71) - exp 1
% avg(=Narea) - CC	= mean(sims 5,8,11,14) - sim 2	= exp (37,64,82,91) - exp 1
% avg(+Narea) - CC	= mean(sims 7,10,12,13)- sim 2	= exp (56,77,86,89) - exp 1
% +CN - CC			= sim 4  - sim 2				= exp 26 - exp 1
% +LMA - CC			= sim 12 - sim 2				= exp 86 - exp 1
% +CN+LMA - CC		= sim 14 - sim 2				= exp 91 - exp 1

Note, sim_indx is listed above, and corresponds to the reducedsetofsimulations in the input files:
% reducedsetofsimulations 	= [ctrl, 1,	14,	26,	37,	47,	56,	64,	71,	77,	82,	86,	89,	91];
% sim_indx 				  	= [1,	 2,	3,	4,	5,	6,	7,	8,	9,	10,	11,	12,	13,	14]
