Nepal's First Tornado: the UTLS Moisture Dynamics

The km-scale ICON-CLM simulation is performed at 1 km and 3.3 km simulations to understand the Nepal's first tornado and it's effect on the Upper Troposphere and Lower Stratosphere during the observe period. This repository contains the codes and datasets used for generating the figures/analysis presented in the research article: "Nepal’s First Recorded Tornado: Its Effect on the Upper Troposphere and Lower Stratosphere Moisture Dynamics." The provided datasets allow for the reproduction of sample figures from the manuscript. Additionally, all figures can be generated using a combination of the uploaded data along with ERA5 and/or MOSDAC (INSAT-3D). Note: Some modifications to the code may be necessary depending on the data paths and structure of different datasets. Abstract This study investigates the role of first evere recorded Nepal's deep convective supercell tornado event in transporting water vapor to the Upper Troposphere and Lower Stratosphere (UTLS) region. Using high-resolution (1 km and 3.3 km) ICON-CLM simulations and ERA5 reanalysis data, we conduct a Lagrangian analysis to assess the efficiency of these convective systems in vertical moisture transport.
