--------------

Description of files (used in primary analysis of paper):

1) Masters_2012_Cloud_Feedback.R - main source file for creating first two tables and all figures.

2) AIRS_GFDL_GlobalFluxContributions_2002_9-2011_10.txt - TOA radiative flux contributions from various components using AIRS profiles with Dr. Soden's GFDL kernels.

3) CERES_SSF1deg-Month-lite_Aqua_Ed2.6_Subset_200207-201106.nc - global monthly mean fluxes from CERES Aqua

4) CERES_SSF1deg-Month-lite_Terra_Ed2.6_Subset_200207-201106.nc - global monthly mean fluxes from CERES Terra

5) era_flux_data.txt - global monthly mean forecast fluxes from ERA-Interim

6) GISTemp.txt - global monthly temperatures from GISS
