Simulating Jupiter's weather layer: Accompanying data for Parts I and II

This dataset contains instantaneous model states from two simulations of Jupiter’s atmosphere, over 100 Earth days. The data were generated by a version of the MIT General Circulation Model (MITgcm) modified to simulate Jupiter’s upper troposphere and lower stratosphere. The model simulates Jupiter’s weather layer down to 18 bar at 0.7 degree horizontal resolution, with parametrizations of radiative forcing, vertical diffusion, dry convection, and ammonia and water cycles. Run B has 5.7 W/m2 heating into the bottom of the domain, while Run A does not; both are heated by the Sun from above.

本数据集包含两项木星大气模拟的瞬时模型状态数据，时长覆盖100个地球日。该数据集由经修改的麻省理工学院通用环流模型（MIT General Circulation Model, MITgcm）生成，该模型被改造用于模拟木星的对流层上层和平流层下层。该模型以0.7度的水平分辨率模拟木星的天气层，模拟深度可达18巴，且包含辐射强迫、垂直扩散、干对流以及氨与水循环的参数化方案。其中模拟试验B在模拟区域底部施加了5.7 W/m²的加热，而模拟试验A未施加该加热；两项试验均由上方的太阳提供加热。
