Analysis code for "Response of atmospheric convection to surface drying: new insights from isentropic analysis"

This repository contains the analysis code used to derive the results presented in Régibeau-Rockett and O'Neill (under review): "Response of atmospheric convection to surface drying: new insights from isentropic analysis". The code descriptions are as follows*: - RCE-check.ipynb checks for a steady state, as defined in the text, in all of our simulations - get_input_sounding_data.py can be used to derive the vertical profiles of potential temperature, water vapor mixing ratio, and x- and y- wind speed from our initial simulations. - get_input_sounding_tropopause.py obtains the values of the tropopause height and temperature in the same simulations - isentropic_analysis.py performs the isentropic analysis procedure described in the main text on our main and sensitivity simulations - TOA_budget.py computes the TOA energy budget for our main and sensitivity simulations - isentropic_analysis_PM.py is equivalent to isentropic_analysis.py but uses the entropy potential temperature and associated moist entropy of Marquet (2011, QJRMS) as described in the text. - Plots.ipynb makes all figures from the main text and supplemental materials * Note: Some of the files described here have not yet been uploaded to this repository. However, they will be made available soon. In the meantime, they are available upon request from the author.
