Data set of simulated rimed aggregates for "A riming-dependent parameterization of scattering by snowflakes using the self-similar Rayleigh-Gans approximation"

<p><strong>Simulated rimed aggregates</strong> generated with https://github.com/jleinonen/aggregation in setting &quot;aggregation followed by riming&quot;.</p> <p>Aggregates were built from between 10 to 700 monomer crystals of <strong>columns, dendrites, needles, plates or rosettes</strong> with mean sizes of 100 or 200 micrometer. Then they were exposed to ELWP = 2.0 kg m⁻&sup2;. Monomer crystals are composed of cubical elements with resolution 20 micrometer. Frozen rime droplets are also represented by 20 micrometer cubes.</p> <p>The data set contains folders with <strong>evolution (evol) and shape files for each monomer crystal type</strong>. For each particle one evolution and one corresponding shape file exists. The evolution (evol) file contains particle mass, rime mass, area, size, fall speed (Heymsfield&amp;Westbrook, 2010), fall speed (Khvorostyanov&amp;Curry, 2005) for each step during the aggregation and riming process. The corresponding shape file contains the x,y,z positions of the cubical elements that compose the particle for each step. <strong>For further documentation see readme.</strong></p>
