WRF-DART/RTTOV input and (processed) output files for GMD-2022-30

The Exp-01.tar.gz ~ Exp-14.tar.gz (including true_processed.tar.gz and ctrl_processed.tar.gz) store the processed output files. Untarrring each of them will generate a list of subdirectories named after UTC time, txt files and netcdf files. (1) The subdirectories named after the UTC time. For example, 202008180200 denotes 02:00 UTC 18 August 2020. The subdirectory 202008180200 includes preassim_mean.nc and postassim_mean.nc files, which denote the prior and posterior estimates of cloud and non-cloud variables (and diagnosed variable). Both preassim_mean.nc and postassim_mean.nc include seven variables: CWP denotes the cloud water path (kg m^-2). CWC denotes the mixing ratio (kg kg^-1) of cloud hydrometers, including cloud droplet, rain, snow, ice, and graupel. P denotes the pressure (hPa), Re_CLOUD denotes the effective radius of liquid water clouds, QVAPOR denotes the water vapor mixing ratio, T denotes the perturbation potential temperature, U denotes the u-wind component, and V denotes the v-wind component. (2)Txt files which are the quantitative metrics of cloud and precipitation simulation errors. FSS_pre.txt and FSS_pos.txt store the fraction skill score for the prior and posterior estimates of cloud coverage. MAE_pre.txt and MAE_pos.txt store the Mean Absolute Error for the prior and posterior estimates of CWP. rain_TS_pre.txt and rain_TS_pos.txt store the TS scores for the prior and posterior estimates of precipitation. rain_MAE_pre.txt and rain_MAE_pos.txt store the MAE for the prior and posterior estimates of rain rate. (3) Netcdf files including mpe_mpi.nc, rain_pre.nc, and rain_pos.nc. mpe_mpi.nc includes the Mean Profile Error (MPE) for the prior and posterior estimates of non-cloud variables (Q, T, U, and V). rain_pre.nc and rain_pos.nc store the results for the prior and posterior estimates of rain rate (mm h^-1).

The nature_run.tar.gz file contains the WRF output files for the nature run.

The model_codes.tar.gz file includes the source code of WRF-ARW (v4.1.1), WPS (v4.1), RTTOV (v12.3), and DART (Manhattan release v9.8.0).

The input_file.tar.gz file includes the input namelist files for the WRF/WPS/DART models (tool) for the nature run, control run, and fourteen cycled data assimilation experiments. In addition, the input observation sequence files for the DART tool at each analysis time are provided.

The Figure_script.tar.gz file includes the visualization scripts of Figure 1~Figure 16 in the manuscript.
