Global variable-resolution simulations of extreme precipitation over Henan, China in 2021 with MPAS-Atmosphere v7.3

This repository encompasses data and software to "Global variable-resolution simulations of the 2021 extreme precipitation event in Henan, China with MPAS-Atmosphere v7.3". The data and model are integral to our study, which focuses on simulating a significant rainstorm event in Henan, China, in July 2021.

Contained within this archive are the following components:

MPAS-Atmosphere v7.3: This is the core model employed in our study. MPAS v7.3 is a versatile global variable-resolution model, adept at simulating extreme weather events at varying scales.

MPAS mesh data: The global meshes generated for the experiments.

CMA Observation Data: Ground-based observational data from the China Meteorological Administration, crucial for the validation of our simulation results.

ERA5 Reanalysis Data: These datasets are used to further validate the outcomes of our simulations, providing a comprehensive set of atmospheric parameters.

GFS Data: The Global Forecast System (GFS) data serve as the input fields for the MPAS model, providing essential initial conditions for our simulations.

This collection is aimed at offering researchers a holistic package for studying, replicating, or extending our findings on extreme weather phenomena. The data and model provided here are not only crucial for reproducing the results presented in our study but also offer a valuable resource for further research in atmospheric sciences and climate modeling.
