(1) finalproff_gl###.sav - IDL .sav files of the final water vapor profiles from the global simulations
	gl134: reference simulation with full effects of convection (instantaneous saturation and convectively-detrained ice in aging anvils)
	gl133: simulation with instantaneous convective saturation only (no convectively-detrained ice)
	gl121: simulation with no convection


(2) detrained ice gl134.sav - IDL .sav file of detrained ice crystal properties from the reference simulation (gl134) with full effects of convection (instantaneous saturation and convectively-detrained ice in aging anvils)


(3) climo_(m/p)(A)Kpd_mono_(B)um_(C)ppmv.dat - idealized simulation output files where A is the temperature tendency (dT/dt in K/day; 'm' means negative temperature tendency or cooling, and 'p' means positive temperature tendency or heating), B is the ice crystal radius (in micrometer), and C is the ice water content (in ppmv)

	examples:
	climo_m0.5Kpd_mono_15um_10ppmv.dat - idealized simulation with downstream cooling of 0.5 K/d, ice crystal radius of 15 um and ice water content of 10 ppmv
	climo_p1Kpd_mono_15um_30ppmv.dat - idealized simulation with downstream heating of 1 K/d, ice crystal radius of 15 um and ice water content of 30 ppmv


(4) climo_(m/p)(A)Kpd_stratopsd_(C)ppmv.dat - dealized simulation output files with StratoClim particle size distribution where A is the temperature tendency (dT/dt in K/day; 'm' means negative temperature tendency or cooling, and 'p' means positive temperature tendency or heating), C is the ice water content (in ppmv)
