Data for "How cloud geometry and solar zenith angle control 3D radiative effects"
Abstract
Supporting data for figures in "How cloud geometry and solar zenith angle control 3D radiative effects." Includes: Cloud properties Aspect ratio (aspect_ratio_summary.csv) Transmissivity (etas.csv) Fields of 3D and 1D downwelling surface shortwave fluxes of diffuse and direct radiation calculated with the ray tracer of https://github.com/microhh/rte-rrtmgp-cpp Shallow cumulus, subset due to memory requirements (cb_data_gas_false_results.tar.gz) Deep convection (trmm_data_gas_false_results.tar.gz) Stratocumulus (pinacles_data_gas_false_results.tar.gz) Summary fluxes Shallow cumulus (cloud_bot_surface_flux_summaries.tar) Deep convection (trmm_surface_flux_summaries.tar) Stratocumulus (pinacles_surface_flux_summaries.tar) Scripts for using this data to produce manuscript figures are available via https://github.com/magpowell/3D_radiative_effects
