Data and Code for "Updraft Width Modulates Ambient Atmospheric Controls on Convective Cloud Depth" by Varble et al. (2024)

The zip file contains additional data and revised code used in the following paper: Varble, A. C., Feng, Z., Marquis, J. N., Zhang, Z., Geiss, A., Hardin, J. C., & Jo, E. (2024), Updraft Width Modulates Ambient Atmospheric Controls on Deep Convection Depth. Under review in J. Geophys. Res. Atmos.

Datasets used in analyses that are derived from observations and model output can be found in the data folder. Python code and notebooks used to derive these datasets and to make all plots in the paper are in the code folder. The cell tracking was performed using PyFLEXTRKR software available here: https://github.com/FlexTRKR/PyFLEXTRKR.

Parallax corrected GOES-16 satellite retrievals used in the study are downloadable at doi.org/10.5439/2008448. Taranis C-band radar retrievals are a very large dataset and in the process of being uploaded to the DOE ARM data archive. Interpolated sonde data is downloadable at doi.org/10.5439/1095316. Raw WRF model output is a very large dataset and currently stored at NERSC. To access raw model output or Taranis radar retrievals (before being available via ARM), please contact Adam Varble ([e-mail]).
