Idealized large eddy model simulations

This dataset contains matlab and grads output of four large eddy model simulations of the atmospheric boundary layer in Matlab data format. They are used to create figures presented in a paper titled "Large eddy simulations of diurnal entrainment/detrainment of the shallow cumulus clouds in subtropical Western Pacific Ocean". The matlabscripts and figures are in the les_scripts_figs.tar.gz file. Install the *.mat files and dropsonde netcdf files in the following "data" directory tree structure, then the figures can be recreated by running the matlabscripts. The *.ctl and *.dat files are the grads output that contains a 10 min interval statistics of model variables, i.e. stats_sw.dat for 3D variables and stats_sfc.dat for 2D surface variables of these LES experiments. The name of the variables are listed in their corresponding *.ctl files. >ls data CAMP2EX_AVAPS_RD41_v1_20190927_212721.nc L2 CAMP2EX_AVAPS_RD41_v1_20190927_222459.nc L2sst CAMP2EX_AVAPS_RD41_v1_20190928_004304.nc les_grads_L1sst.tar.gz cld_iso.mat les_grads_L1.tar.gz cld_mat.tar.gz les_grads_L2sst.tar.gz cldtb_ent_det.mat les_grads_L2.tar.gz L1 mse_cld_entr.mat L1sst tke_cld_all.mat The L1, L1sst, L2, and L2sst are the subdirectories under data.
