The supplemental material to "Mean cold pool size of quasi-equilibrium convection" Part1 and Part 2

The supplemental material to this two-paper series includes a hand-written mathematical derivation note (math_note.pdf), supplemental figures shared by the two parts (supplemental_figures_Parts_I_and_II.pdf), the postprocessing codes (postprocessing codes.zip), the LES namelist file for Bryan Cloud Model 1 (namelist.input), and some LES movies. The movie list is shown below:

The movie "potential_temperature_near_surface.avi" shows the z=12.5 m potential temperature (unit: K) between t=3 days and t=5 days. Experiments Ev=0.2, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 are shown. 

The movie "w_4km.avi" shows the z~4 km vertical velocity (unit: m/s) between t=3 days and t=5 days. Experiments Ev=0.2, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 are shown. 

The movie "vapor_0-551m_average.avi" shows the z=0-551 m vertically averaged water vapor mixing ratio (unit: g/kg) between t=3 days and t=5 days. Experiments Ev=0.2, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 are shown. 

The movie "early_vapor_0-551m_average.avi" is the same as "vapor_0-551m_average.avi", but for the water vapor mixing ratio between t=0 day and t=3 days. It aims to show the initial spin-up stage of the simulation, which some readers might be interested in. 

The movie "large_domain_vapr_551m_average.mp4" shows the z=0-551 m vertically averaged vapor mixing ratio (unit: g/kg) between t=3 days and t=5 days, using a large domain size of 144 km x 144 km (not 96 km x 96 km as for other cases) for the Ev=1.0 and 2.0 cases. Only the domain's southwest 96 km x 96 km corner is shown. 

The LES data, as well as intermediate output files for plotting (some .mat files), are available by contacting the first author Hao Fu via: [e-mail] / [e-mail]
