Map-based stochastic simulation data of a transient Ekman boundary layer

<p><strong>Overview</strong><br> &nbsp;<br> A journal paper in Advances in Science and Research [1] details the numerical modeling approach used to create the data. Here, the model input files, the raw data, processed data, and plot scripts are provided that support the research.</p> <p>The code used here [2,3] is an extended version of the one-dimensional turbulence (ODT) model [4,5]. The current model implementation utilizes an adaptive grid that further increases numerical efficiency [6.7]. A truncated version of the adaptive ODT code of this work is described in [8] and publicly available free of charge in [9].</p> <p>The theoretical foundation and numerical as well as experimental evidence for this work is given in [10,11,12,13], and the main motivation in [14].</p> <p>The bash script makePlot.sh is the top-level driver and contains all additional information about the cases. Some other Details are provided by low-level README files. Python-3.8 is required to run the scripts.</p> <p><strong>References</strong></p> <p>[1]&nbsp; M. Klein, and H. Schmidt.
