Models for Ultra-cool Substellar Objects with Microphysically Informed Water Clouds

This repository contains the atmospheric models presented in our paper working to incorporate CARMA microphysical water cloud features into the parameterized EddySed model.

5 main directories are organized by the subsections in the paper:

1. Supersaturation: supersaturation.zip

2. Variable fsed and cloud base falloff: variable_fsed.zip

3. Cloud condensation nuclei limitations: CCN.zip

4. Latent heat release: latent_heat.zip

5. CARMA microphysical growth/loss rates: carma_growthrates.zip

Please use the README.txt in each root directory for details on the individual files included in the directory. As an overview, there are 4 types of files in these directories:

EGP Atmosphere Files (.atm)

• Plain text files containing the pressure-temperature and chemical profiles of the atmospheric models

EGP Cloud Profiles (.cld)

• Files detailing the optical properties of the water-ice cloud for each profile
• Formatted for direct use in PICASO to generate spectra

CARMA Cloud Profiles (.txt)

• Files containing the optical properties of the water-ice CARMA clouds with the same format as the EGP cloud profiles

CARMA Growth/Loss Rates (.txt)

• Files including the microphysically derived cloud growth and loss rates
