Supporting Datasets for Submission: "Advancing Organized Convection Representation in the Unified Model: Implementing and Enhancing Multiscale Coherent Structure Parameterization" to Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems

Supporting Datasets for Manuscript Submission

These datasets contain supporting materials for various analyses presented in the manuscript, categorized as follows:

1. MJO Analysis

The file mjo.jar.gz includes daily datasets of key atmospheric variables related to the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) analysis, covering the period from January 1989 to December 2007. The dataset includes:

Outgoing Longwave Radiation (rlut): Reference data from NOAA-PSD satellite retrievals and simulated data from Unified Model (UM) simulations.

Winds (ua): Reference data from ERA-Interim reanalysis and simulated data from UM simulations.

UM simulations include:

Control run: Labeled as OFFUMPP

PRIME-MCSP run (organized convection): Labeled as UMPP

PRIME-MCSP variable-alpha run: Labeled as UMPPA

2. Decadal Climate Run

The file climate_run_precipitation.tar.gz contains monthly mean global precipitation maps from UM climate simulations and reference observations from GPCP, covering the period September 1988 to August 2008.

3. Short-term Weather Ensemble Run

The file weather_ensemble.tar.gz includes hourly/3-hourly key variables from UM weather ensemble simulations (members 0 to 7), covering the period from July 1, 2020, 03Z to July 3, 2020, 03Z.

4. MCS Tracking

The file mcs_track_config.tar.gz provides the configuration setup for running PyFLEXTRKR, used to obtain Mesoscale Convective System (MCS) tracks in UM simulations.
