Model output for "Numerically consistent budgets of potential temperature, momentum, and moisture in Cartesian coordinates: application to the WRF model"

<p>These data were produced with WRFlux v1.2.1 (https://github.com/matzegoebel/WRFlux/) from a numerical simulation with the community model WRF. Simulations represent the evolution of a convective boundary layer in the atmosphere over an idealized 2D mountain ridge. The data are published in connection with the article &quot;Numerically consistent budgets of potential temperature, momentum and moisture in Cartesian coordinates: Application to the WRF model&quot; in &quot;Geoscientific Model Development&quot; (https://doi.org/10.5194/gmd-15-669-2022).</p> <p>Three-dimensional (x, z, t) fields of five prognostic variables are provided: Potential temperature (T), water vapor mixing ratio (Q), cross-mountain (U), along-mountain (V), and vertical windspeed (W). All fields are averaged in time (30 min averaging interval) and in the along-mountain direction y.</p> <p>The repository contains the following files:</p> <p>grid.nc : variables related to the WRF numerical grid, air density<br> [U,W,T,Q]_flux.nc : resolved and subgrid-scale fluxes<br> [U,W,T,Q]_tendency.nc : resolved and subgrid-scale tendency components<br> UVWT_MEAN.nc : averaged values of the variables themselves<br> plotting.py : python script to approximately reproduce the figures of the paper. Requires the python packages matplotlib, xarray, and netcdf4.</p> <p>Figure 6 in the paper cannot be accurately reproduced with these data since the original figure uses 4D (x, y, z, t) output.</p> <p>For details on the simulation, refer to the article.</p>
