A Stereo Camera Simulator for Large-Eddy Simulations of Continental Shallow Cumulus clouds based on three-dimensional Path-Tracing

Dataset to produce the results of the publication: "A Stereo Camera Simulator for Large-Eddy Simulations of Continental Shallow Cumulus clouds based on three-dimensional Path-Tracing"
The dataset contains:

Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) model configuration files
Selected output data of the LES experiments
Data and analysis scripts for the figures
The rendered camera images
The cloud field, cloud hulls, and reconstructed hulls
A frozen version of the open-source Blender code (version 2.90) as used in this study
