Data accompanying the paper <strong>"Stable Numerical Implementation of a Turbulence Scheme with Two Prognostic Turbulence Energies",</strong> submitted to Monthly Weather Review. This repository contains results from the idealized simulations of GABLS1 case,<br> obtained by the OpenIFS single column model version with the TOUCANS two-energy<br> turbulence scheme. Each simulation has its own folder, containing single NetCDF file 'progvar.nc'.<br> Experimental settings, explained in the paper, are following: <pre><code>----------------------------------------------------------------- folder timestep delta beta beta_tau [s] [1] [1] [1] ----------------------------------------------------------------- GABLS1_2TE-R_dt001s_delta00_bt15/ 1 0.00 1.0 1.5 GABLS1_2TE-R_dt045s_delta00_bt15/ 45 0.00 1.0 1.5 GABLS1_2TE-R_dt090s_delta00_bt15/ 90 0.00 1.0 1.5 ----------------------------------------------------------------- GABLS1_2TE-R_dt090s_delta25_bt15/ 90 0.25 1.0 1.5 GABLS1_2TE-R_dt090s_delta25_bt10/ 90 0.25 1.0 1.0 GABLS1_2TE-R_dt180s_delta25_bt10/ 180 0.25 1.0 1.0 -----------------------------------------------------------------</code></pre> Names of the NetCDF fields examined in the paper are: <pre><code>tke - turbulence kinetic energy [J/kg] tte - turbulence total energy [J/kg] efb3 - turbulent heat flux [W/m^2] t - thermodynamic temperature [K] </code></pre> They are all 2D fields, indexed by the timestep number and the model level.<br> Turbulent heat flux is given on the model half levels, remaining quantities<br> on the model full levels. Heights of the model levels are stored in the<br> NetCDF fields: <pre><code>height_f - full level heights [m] height_h - half level heights [m] </code></pre> Simulation time in seconds is stored in the NetCDF field 'time'. <strong>CAUTION:</strong><br> Since the simulations were run with the prescribed forcings and only with<br> the turbulence scheme activated, some fields in NetCDF files are meaningless<br> (e.g. skin temperature).
