DATA & FILE OVERVIEW
---------------------


1. File List
   A. Filename: Globe_1961_2009.tar and Kelmet_1961_2009.tar       
      Short description: The netCDF file contains the meteorological observation (including radiation, rainfall, specific humidity, wind speed, air pressure) at Kelmet and Globe site in Kelso Valley from 2005 to 2010 as well as the reconstructed climate forcing from 1961 to 2005. The meteorological data were used to drive the model CLM 4.5       
      Units for meteorological variables:
	  Radiation (W/m2)
	  Rainfall (mm/s)
	  Specific Humidity (kg/kg)
	  Wind Speed (m/s)
	  Air Pressure (Pa)
        
   B. Filename: Globe_lai_sm.txt and Kelmet_lai_sm.txt      
      Short description: MODIS leaf area index observation and in-site soil moisture were used for model-data fusion to constrain CLM model related vegetation trait parameters
                         In the file, LAI stands for leaf area index, SM1 and SM2 stand for soil moisture at two soil depths.	  


        
   C. Filename: climate_Globe.csv and climate_Kelmet.csv       
      Short description: The file contains the downscaled climate model dataset (MACAv2-METDATA) at the two sites for the RCP 8.5 scenario simulation.
	                     In the file, temp is air temperature, tmin and tmax means the subdaily minumum and maximum temperature, precip is rainfall, glob is the shortwave radiation
						 hum, hummin,hummax are specific humidity, subdaily minumum and maximum specific humidity, wind is wind speed
