Data and code repository for the "Uncertainties in cloud-radiative heating within an idealized extratropical cyclone"

Author: Behrooz Keshtgar, [e-mail] This archive contains the post-processed data used to generate the figures and the code repository for the publication "Uncertainties in cloud-radiative heating within an idealized extratropical cyclone" by Behrooz Keshtgar, Aiko Voigt, Bernhard Mayer and Corinna Hoose. Description of the data: figure1.nc: precipitation rate, cloud cover, surface pressure, and cloud classes on day 4.5 of the ICON-NWP baroclinic life cycle simulation. figure2.nc: spatially and temporally averaged profiles of cloud water, ice mass content, and cloud fractions from ICON-LEM simulations. figure4.nc: spatially and temporally averaged cloud-radiative heating profiles from ICON-LEM simulations and offline radiation calculations for each LEM domain. figure5.nc: cross-section of radiative heating rates for 3D and 1D radiative transfer calculations in the shallow cumulus domain. figure6.nc: spatially averaged cloud-radiative heating profiles from 3D and 1D radiation calculations for each LEM domain. figure7.nc: cross-section of cloud-radiative heating calculated with the ice optics of Fu and Baum_ghm in the WCB ascent region. figure8.nc: spatially and temporally averaged profiles of cloud-radiative heating from 1D radiation calculations with different ice optics for each LEM domain. figure9.nc: spatially and temporally averaged profiles of cloud-radiative heating from 1D radiation calculations with LEM and NWP clouds for each LEM domain. figure10.nc: spatially and temporally averaged density and cloud-radiative heating profiles from different offline radiation calculations for each LEM domain. figure11.nc: profiles of the mean absolute difference of cloud-radiative heating from different offline radiation calculations at different resolutions for each LEM domain. The keshtgar-etal-2024-cyclone-crh-uncertainties-main.zip is the copy of the published git repository for the model run and analysis scripts. The repository contains - Scripts for the ICON model simulations - Scripts for the offline radiative transfer calculations with LibRadTran and the post-processing routine - Python scripts and Jupyter Notebooks for the analysis in the paper
