Description

Results of the TITAN thunderstorm tracking algorithm applied to weather model output from WRF model version 4.0.1. The results were produced using the code available at http://github.com/traupach/stormtrack and http://github.com/traupach/modified_LROSE_utils. Results for three microphysics schemes (Thompson, Morrison, and P3) are included. Hail results were compiled using the TITAN-defined cells and show the proportions of cell pixels that contained predicted hail sizes over certain thresholds. The hail results are saved in R rds format. Further information is shown in a paper in the journal Geoscientific Model Development (https://gmd.copernicus.org/articles/14/6495/2021/gmd-14-6495-2021.html).

Author contributions: THR led the study and wrote the code that produced these results. AM produced and provided the WRF output data from which these results were extracted. OM oversaw the project.
