Tropics-wide 4D deep convective cloud statistics, tracked in ICON simulation output
收藏资源简介:
Statistics derived for 4503 isolated deep convective clouds tracked in 4D in the ICON km-scale global climate model. These statistics were used to produce the manuscript in preparation for Geophysical Research Letters, "Does greater convective mass fluxlead to thicker or thinner anvil clouds?". Details on the method used to track the clouds and subset to 'isolated' cases can be found in the submitted manuscript, and closely follows that presented in Ritman et al., (2026). The ICON simulation output used were the nextGEMs production runs, which can be found at Wieners et al., (2024). The output used covers 4 simulation days and the tropical belt from -15 to 15 degrees North. Statistics are provided for key cloud and dynamic fields, as a function of the deep convective cloud, the convective cores, and time. Interested in statistics not included in this dataset? The original cloud masks? Or those deep convective clouds that were not classified as 'isolated'? (N=2100).
