Model outputs 1: all simulations excluding mode 2 sensitivity tests

Dataset

Description

This dataset contains the model outputs for all simulations except the mode 2 sensitivity studies.

Data file structure
The model output files are provided in the netCDF file format (.nc). The model output filename convection is as follows:

depth_aerosol_temp_updraft_aINP_#.nc

where depth (deep or shallow) indicates the cloud depth, aerosol (natural or nearcity) indicates the aerosol size distribution, temp (cold or warm) indicates the cloud base temperature, updraft (05, 2 or 10) indicates the updraft speed, a(01,1,10)INP indicates the INP concentration, and # is a number and indicates the secondary ice production (SIP) mechanism (see details below).

# refers to the SIP as follows:

000 control (no SIP)

001 M1

002 CB

003 M1+CB

004 M2

005 M1+M2

006 M2+CB

007 M1+M2+CB

008 RS

009 RS+M1

010 RS+CB

011 RS+M1+CB

012 RS+M2

013 RS+M1+M2

014 RS+M2+CB

015 RS+M1+M2+CB

For example, shallow_natural_cold_05_1INP_000.nc refers to a simulation with no SIP mechanisms with a cloud depth of 1.3 km, a natural aerosol size distribution, a cloud base temperature of 0 °C, an updraft speed of 0.5 m s-1 and x1 INP concentration.
