Dataset for the article titled ""An Updated Parameterization of the Unstable Atmospheric Surface Layer in WRF Modeling System"".

The dataset is organized in to five ZIP folders as described below:

1. Offline_Exp_Data: This contains data for stability parameter (z/L), transfer coefficient for momentum (CD), and heat (CH) simulated from different experiments using the bulk flux algorithm (offline mode) corresponding to different similarity functions over smooth (z0 = 0.01 m), transition (z0 = 0.1 m), and rough (z0 = 1 m) surfaces. This dataset corresponds to Figure 4.

2. Similarity_Functions: This contains data for the similarity functions for momentum and heat in gradient (Phi_m and Phi_h) as well as integrated (Psi_m and Psi_h) forms with stability parameter (z/L) for considered functional forms of similarity functions (e.g., Businger et al., 1971 (BD71); Carl et al., 1973 (CL73); Kader and Yaglom, 1990 (KY90); and Fairall et al., 1996 (F96)) under unstable conditions. The dataset corresponds to Figures 2 and S1 (supporting information).

3. WRF_Data1: This contains hourly averaged data for considered variables from WRF model simulations during the MAM (March–April–May) season. This dataset can be used to reproduce Figures 9, 10, and 11.

4. WRF_Data2: This contains model output for considered variables extracted during highly convective hours (z/L<-10 over most of the domain) in the daytime. This dataset can be used to reproduce Figures 12, S3, S4, S5, and S6.

5. WRF_Data3: This consists of data from different simulations (CTRL, Exp1-4) with the WRF model extracted at the location of the flux tower (23.412 N, 85.44 E (Ranchi), India). The dataset contains stability parameter (z/L), bulk Richardson number (RiB), transfer coefficients for momentum (CD) and heat (CH), sensible heat flux (HFX), 10-m wind speed (WS), u*2 (representative of momentum flux), and 2-m temperature (T2m). This dataset corresponds to Figures 5, 6, 7, 8, S2, S7, and S8.
