Ekman Model data from a study on the influence of biomass burning aerosol plumes on low-level clouds over the Southeastern Atlantic Bolin Centre Database 2023 Datafile Atmosphere Aerosols Stratocumulus Southeast Atlantic Large eddy simulation Earth science > Atmosphere > Clouds > Cloud properties Annica Ekman 2023-09-05T16:03:08+00:00 English 1 The dataset contains output from MIMICA (Savre et al., 2014). The data are provided as NetCDF files. The file names are composed by the following labels (e.g. `AUG03_CTRL_prof.nc`): - Simulation day, referring to August 2017 - `AUG03` - `AUG16` - `AUG31` - Experiment name - `CTRL` control simulation - `AER-rad-off` aerosol-radiation interaction turned off - `DRY` water vapor mixing ratio reduced - `N100` aerosol number concentration reduced to 100 mg⁻¹ - Output type - `prof` profile data with dimensions `Z` and time, which are average profiles of the same variables in the model domain - `surf` surface data with dimensions `X`, `Y` and time From the described files we used the following variables in the manuscript: - From the `prof` files: - Water vapor mixing ratio [kg/kg] `Qv` - Aerosol number concentration [1/kg] `N_AERO1` - Resolved turbulent kinetic energy [m²/s²] `TKE` - SGS turbulent kinetic energy [m²/s²] `TKE_sgs` - Long wave radiative heating [K/s] `DT_LW` - Cloud area fraction in atmospheric layer [-] `ClF_layer` - From the `surf` files: - Liquid water path [kg/m²] `LWP` - Accumulated surface precipitation [mm] `R_cumul` We additionally used the following variables from MIMICA outputs with dimensions `X`, `Y`, `Z` and time: - Cloud droplet number density [kg⁻¹] `Nc` - Cloud droplet mean size [mm] `Dc` Due to their large size, these outputs are not included in this dataset. The files will be temporally available at Stockholm University (contact Annica Ekman).
