Description

The collection of datasets published contain the input parameters and output simulations from a single column 1D radiative transfer simulations using the Rapid Radiative Transfer Model for General Circulation Model (GCM) applications (RRTMG).

The simulations are focused on a selected case study of low-level-stratus clouds during the PS106 research cruise conducted in 2017 in the Central Arctic. The simulations are based on remote sensing observations, which were synergistically used with the Cloudnet algorithm to derive macro and microphysical properties of clouds. The atmospheric profiles of temperature, pressure, and ozone are from ERA5 (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) Re-Analysis) and values of surface albedo from CERES (Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System) SYN1deg Ed. 4.1.
