Description
Super-droplet simulations of a one-dimensional rain shaft model, generated by using the Python-based code PySDM v2.15. The updraft speed and the temperature profile are prescribed, as described in
"Shipway, B. J., & Hill, A. A. (2012). Diagnosis of systematic differences between multiple parametrizations of warm rain microphysics using a kinematic framework. Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 138(669), 2196-2211".
The data were generated for five surface pressure levels, ranging from 988 hPa to 1012 hPa, with updraft amplitudes ranging from 1 to 4 m/s and an initial aerosol number density varying from 10 to 1000 per cubic centimeter.
