Revisiting Theories for the Growth of Single Crystalline Ice: Laboratory Data and Code to Compute the Crystal Shape Functions
Abstract
This data set comprises individual time-series data for crystals grown in the substrate crystal imaging chamber (Pokrifka et al., 2025) along with surrogate time-series data extracted from free fall chamber measurements (Takahashi et al., 1991). The data set includes Fortran 90 code to compute the crystal shape functions for cylinders (Nelson and Baker, 1996; Nelson, 2001) and for hexagonal prisms using data from the simulations of Wood et al. (2001). Data for the shape functions are also included along with python code to plot the shape function data and output from the Fortran 90 codes. Sample Fortran 90 output is also included. A README file that describes the data is included. These data are described in an article that is submitted to The Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences (Revisiting Theories for the Growth of Solid and Hollow Single Crystals: The Importance of Step Source Location. Authors: Jerry Y. Harrington and Gwenore F. Pokrifka).
