Datasets used in Kokkola et al. (2024) "Model analysis of biases in satellite diagnosed aerosol effect on cloud liquid water path"

This study aims to explore possible causes in the decreasing trend of liquid water path (LWP) with increasing cloud droplet number concentrations (CDNC) obtained by satellite-based studies.
Datasets comprise cloud properties derived from UCLALES-SALSA simulations of a typical marine stratocumulus cloud setup (nocturnal drizzling stratocumulus cloud DYCOMS-II RF02 of the Second Dynamics and Chemistry of Marine Stratocumulus field campaign (Ackerman et al., 2009. Mon. Wea. Rev., 137, 1083–1110). Model-based properties were used to calculate LWP and CDNC with two different equations commonly used in satellite data analysis. Deviations between model and satellite-retrievals are included as relative percentage error.
