Datasets for The Dynamics of Megafire Smoke Plumes in Climate Models: Why a Converged Solution Matters for Physical Interpretations

<p>The data in this repository contains the information needed to reproduce the core results of the paper, &quot;The Dynamics of Megafire Smoke Plumes in Climate Models: Why a Converged Solution Matters for Physical Interpretations&quot; submitted to the Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems (JAMES) on 10/3/2022.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The &quot;intsmoke*.txt&quot; files are text files with the globally integrated smoke mass above 150 hPa for all simulations in the paper. A header is provided in each file.</p> <p>The &quot;spectra*.mat&quot; files are matlab files that contain fields used to plot the kinetic energy spectra for all simulations. The variable &quot;kes&quot; is the kinetic energy as a function of wavelength, &quot;wvl&quot; are the associated wavelengths of &quot;kes&quot;. The variables &quot;hcut&quot; and &quot;lcut&quot; represent the indices of the data &quot;kes&quot; and &quot;wvl&quot; that are used to make the kinetic energy spectra plots in the paper.</p> <p>The &quot;budget*.nc&quot; files contain the budget terms for the relative, vertical vorticity evolution equation at the appropriate date/time. The fields in the netcdf file are self-describing. These budget terms are for the &quot;optimal simulation&quot; described in the paper.</p> <p>The &quot;vort*.nc&quot; file contains the vorticity fields just before the plume forcing starts based on the date/time on the file.</p>
