Dataset for "From Suppression to Enhancement: Wind Shear–Regulated Entrainment in Deep Convective Boundary Layers"

This dataset supports the research article “From Suppression to Enhancement: Wind Shear–Regulated Entrainment in Deep Convective Boundary Layers,” which investigates how vertical wind shear regulates entrainment in deep convective boundary layers (CBLs) using large-eddy simulation (LES). The dataset includes high-resolution LES experiment outputs (stored in the dataset folder) and the MATLAB plotting scripts (stored in the matfile folder). By updating the data paths in the MATLAB scripts, users can reproduce all figures presented in the article “From Suppression to Enhancement: Wind Shear–Regulated Entrainment in Deep Convective Boundary Layers.” The experiment data include:(1) five simulations with zonal geostrophic wind speeds Ug = 0, 5, 10, 20, and 30 m/s, with surface sensible heat flux Qs = 0.24 K·m/s and free-atmospheric capping inversion strength dθ/dz = 0.003 K/m;(2) six simulations with different initial CBL depths (1000, 2000, and 3500 m), constant surface heating Qs = 0.24 K·m/s, and two free-atmospheric stratifications dθ/dz = 0.003 and 0.0099 K/m. Content of each folder: · \dataset\statics: Mean and standard-deviation profiles of potential temperature (θ), u-wind, v-wind, w-wind, geopotential height (z), turbulent kinetic energy (TKE), and the spatial correlation coefficient between w and θ (wthr) for all experiments. · \dataset\statics_flux: Profiles of sensible heat flux (resolved + subgrid-scale). · \dataset\statics_fine: Profiles of the mean and count of positive and negative vertical velocity (w). · \dataset\entrainment: Statistical parameters describing the entrainment process. The meaning of each row can be referenced in the MATLAB scripts and in the article “From Suppression to Enhancement: Wind Shear–Regulated Entrainment in Deep Convective Boundary Layers.” · \dataset\wrfout: Spatial fields of w and geopotential height. To reduce file size, only the three vertical levels used in the article’s figures are included. Users may refer to the article “From Suppression to Enhancement: Wind Shear–Regulated Entrainment in Deep Convective Boundary Layers” as well as the MATLAB scripts provided in this dataset when analyzing or plotting the data.For any questions, please feel free to contact: [e-mail].
