Data from each model contains cloud variables used in the Bulatovic et al. (2020) study. The variables (the ones used for plotting in the paper) and their abbreviations in the files are listed below: ##### MIMICA - cloud water mixing ratio (qc) - rain water mixing ratio (qr) - ice crystal mixing ratio (qi) - graupel mixing ratio (qg) - condensation/evaporation rates for cloud droplets and rain drops (qc_diag and qr_diag) - deposition/sublimation rates for ice crystals (qi_diag) - liquid water path (LWP) - ice water path (IWP) - radiative cooling rates (raddt) - saturation (SAT) - vertical velocity (W) - cloud top height (zi). Note: Files are named as variablename.time.simulationname or variablename.simulationname.nc. The T_S.simulationname files include LWP, IWP and zi from corresponding simulation cases presented in the Bulatovic et al. (2020) study. The MIMICA dataset contains 200 files in either HDF5 format (70 files, file extension nc) or plain ascii text (130 files) format. Total size of uncompressed files: 2.4 GB. ##### RAMS - cloud water mixing ratio (PROFrcp) - rain water mixing ratio (PROFrrp) - ice crystal mixing ratio (PROFrsp) - graupel mixing ratio (PROFrgp) - hail mixing ratio (PROFrhp) - condensation/evaporation rates for cloud droplets and rain drops (PROFvapcldt and PROFvapraint) - deposition/sublimation rates for ice crystals (PROFvapsnowt) - liquid water path (lwp) - ice water path (iwp) - radiative cooling rates (PROFfthrd) - saturation (rh) - vertical velocity (w) - cloud top height (ztop). Note: PROFrcp, PROFrrp, PROFrsp, PROFrgp, PROFrhp, lwp, iwp are included in the output.x.x.h5 files while PROFvapcldt, PROFvapraint, PROFvapsnowt, PROFfthrd, ztop are included in the files output.x.x_2.h5. The files output.x.x_rh.5 and output.x.x_w.h5 contain rh and w variables, respectively. x.x. refers to the name of the simulation case. The RAMS dataset contains 50 files in HDF5 format (file extension h5). Total size of uncompressed files: 3.3 GB. Please, cite the study by Bulatovic et al. (2020) when using this dataset. Ines Bulatovic (Department of Meteorology, Stockholm University) , Adele Igel (Department of Land, Air and Water Resources, University of California, Davis) and Annica Ekman (Department of Meteorology, Stockholm University) designed the experiments. Bulatovic and Igel performed the model simulations. Bulatovic analysed the model outputs. The computations performed using MIMICA and data handling were enabled by resources provided by the Swedish National Infrastructure for Computing (SNIC) at the National Supercomputer Centre (NSC) partially funded by the Swedish Research Council through grant agreement no. 2016-07213. An overview of the Summer Cloud Ocean Study (ASCOS) is provided by Tjernström et al. (2014).
