Evaluating E3SM Global Storm-Resolving Model Simulations of Deep Convection: Insights from DP-SCREAM during TRACER

This dataset contains model output from the Doubly-Periodic Simplified Cloud-Resolving E3SM Atmosphere Model (DP-SCREAM) used to evaluate model performance during the TRACER campaign along with the script. For reference, simulations from the E3SMv2 Single Column Model (SCM) are included to enable direct comparison with DP-SCREAM at a 3km horizontal resolution over a three-month period. To investigate model sensitivity, additional DP-SCREAM 3km simulations were conducted within the SHOC (Simplified Higher Order Closure) scheme for August 2022. These include experiments with increased mixing length (mix_incr_run) and enhanced buoyancy flux (bf_run) which were compared to the control run (DP-SCREAM 3km run for August 2022). Horizontal resolution sensitivity was evaluated by comparing DP-SCREAM simulations at 3km and 0.5km from August 5 to August 15, 2022. To analyze the formation of unrealistic fog, we used the month-long DP-SCREAM 3 km simulation for August 2022, supplemented by a series of time-initialized runs starting on August 6 at 00:00, 06:00, 12:00, and 18:00 local time. The dataset also contains the precipitation cluster statistics for the runs.
