Description

This is the LES output for the work "Generating a Stratocumulus-Like Cloud Top in a Convection-Cloud Chamber".

The Wang2025CloudTop_profiles.tar.gz file contains only the vertical profiles, and the Wang2025CloudTop.tar.gz file contains the entire 3D output.

BL_3m and BL_6m represent the mixed-layer depth.
UpperDry and UpperAdiabatic indicate that the upper walls are dry or hydrophobic (i.e., adiabatic with respect to moisture).

Under BL_6m:
_weakLSC and _strongLSC mean that the across-side-wall ΔT is 2 K and 4 K, respectively.
DryChamber means the entire chamber is dry (i.e., dry convection).
PassiveTracer contains runs with artificial passive tracers to investigate the entrainment rate.

Under PassiveTracer:
_constant means that C above z = 6 m is kept at 1.
