Supplemental materials to "A quasi-2D model of convectively coupled vortices"

<p>math_derivation_note: A hand-written note of key mathematical steps, mostly about section 4 and Appendix C.&nbsp;</p> <p>quasi-2D model.zip: The package of the quasi-2D model code.</p> <p>postprocess_code_quasi2D.zip: The package of the postprocessing codes and intermediate files (.mat) related to the quasi-2D simulations.</p> <p>postprocess_code_CM1.zip: The package of the postprocessing codes and intermediate files (.mat) related to the CM1 simulation.</p> <p>Group_dh.avi: The Group-dh experiments with varying convective intermittency (dh/H). The first, second, and third column shows Group-dh-1, Ref, and Group-dh-2. Only the first member of each experimental ensemble is shown. The first row shows the raw vorticity normalized by f. The second shows the Gaussian-filtered vorticity (with a length scale of <em>l</em>=30 km) normalized by f. The black contour is the zero-value contour of the Gaussian-filtered vorticity.</p> <p>Group_dL.avi: The Group-<em>l</em> experiments with varying convective filter length&nbsp;<em>l.</em> The first, second, and third column shows Ref (<em>l</em>=30 km), Group-<em>l</em>-1 (<em>l</em>=45 km), and Group-<em>l</em>-2 (<em>l</em>=60 km). Only the first member of each experimental ensemble is shown. The first row shows the raw vorticity normalized by f. The second shows the Gaussian-filtered vorticity (with a length scale of <em>l)</em> normalized by f. The black contour is the zero-value contour of the Gaussian-filtered vorticity.</p> <p>Group_fE.avi: The Group-fE experiments with varying Coriolis parameter f and Ekman number E<em>.</em> They differ in the strength of the rotational flow. The first, second, and third column shows Group-fE-1 (f=1e-5 1/s), Ref (f=1e-4 1/s), and Group-fE-2 (f=2e-4 1/s). Only the first member of each experimental ensemble is shown. The first row shows the raw vorticity normalized by f. The second shows the Gaussian-filtered vorticity (with a length scale of <em>l=</em>30 km<em>)</em> normalized by f. The black contour is the zero-value contour of the Gaussian-filtered vorticity.</p> <p>Group_eta.avi: The Group-eta experiments with varying mesoscale feedback parameter eta<em>.</em> They differ in the strength of the mesoscale feedback. The first, second, and third column shows Group-eta-1 (eta=0), Group-eta-2 (eta=1.2), and Group-eta-3 (eta=1.4). Only the first member of each experimental ensemble is shown. The first row shows the raw vorticity normalized by f. The second shows the Gaussian-filtered vorticity (with a length scale of <em>l=</em>30 km<em>)</em> normalized by f. The black contour is the zero-value contour of the Gaussian-filtered vorticity.</p> <p>Please contact Dr. Hao Fu (haofu@uchicago.edu) if you have any questions!</p>
