Data for the publication "Sensitivity of Banner Cloud Formation to Orography and the Ambient Atmosphere: Transition From Idealized to More Realistic Scenarios"

<p>Data accompanying the paper titled:&nbsp;&quot;Sensitivity of Banner Cloud Formation to Orography and the Ambient Atmosphere: Transition From Idealized to More Realistic Scenarios&quot;</p> <p>This repository contains output statistics for thirty simulations run with the EULAG model in LES mode (Prusa et al., 2008).</p> <p>We use three distinct configurations of the model domain and its orography, ranging from highly idealized to fully realistic. The configuration with realistic orography is referred to as &ldquo;Matt_Ref&rdquo; and covers a domain of 12.8 x 9.6 x 7 km. As our intermediate configuration, we use the realistic orography from the Matterhorn summit protruding from a flat plain, referred to as &quot;Matt_Iso&quot;. As our highly idealized configuration we consider a Pyramid protruding from a flat plain, referred to as &quot;Pyr&quot;. In both configurations the model domain extends 11.6 x 9.2 x 4.5 km. The simulations of all three configurations are performed with an isotropic grid spacing of 25 m.<br> <br> Each zip-file contains the time-averaged fields of six simulations with inflow conditions of a sheared or constant wind profile with 5, 10 and 20 m/s, and neutral stratification up to the height of the mountain summit. For the &quot;Matt_Ref&quot; configuration exists two additional zip-files containing data of a neutral stratification up to 500 meter and 800 meter below the mountain summit. Moreover, for the &quot;Matt_Ref&quot; configuration exists three additional zip-files containing the time-averaged turbulent fields. For more details have a look at the paper.</p>
