Impact of Coarse-Mode Aerosol on Jiangxi Warm Clouds: An SBM-FAST Approach

The simulation data used in this article are described as follows:The dataset includes the WRF model simulation output data wrfout files and the initial field data used for the simulations. The dataset contains WRF model simulation data, including wrfout and sbmonly files. Information of cloud and aerosol particle bins is stored in the sbmonly files. Data such as temperature, pressure, total water content of various cloud particles, and cloud number concentration are located within the wrfout files. The format of the model data is in .netcdf format. The initial field data is in .grib format, with specific information as follows:1.The simulation time from 18:00 on December 24, 2014, to 06:00 on December 25, 2014 (UTC). A double-nested approach was adopted, with grid resolutions of 3km and 1km, respectively, and the innermost grid size being 376×376. The microphysics scheme selected was the SBM-fast bin scheme (FSBM-2) under WRF version 4.2; the boundary layer scheme used was the Mellor-Yamada-Janjic (Eta) Turbulence Kinetic Energy (TKE) scheme, the surface layer scheme adopted the Monin-Obukhov (Janjic Eta) scheme, the land surface model used was the unified Noah land-surface model. The shortwave and longwave radiation schemes were the (old) Goddard shortwave radiation scheme and the Rapid Radiative Transfer Model (RRTM) scheme, respectively.2.The simulation utilized the fifth generation of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) global atmospheric reanalysis (ERA5) hourly pressure level data as the initial field, with a resolution of 0.25°×0.25°.These data can be accessed at the following link: https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/cdsapp#!/dataset/reanalysis-era5-pressure-levels?tab=overview.
