This repository stores the data for the paper: 
  
  The Diurnal Cycle of Clouds and Precipitation at the ARM SGP Site: Cloud 
  Radar Observations and Simulations from the Multiscale Modeling Framework

Below are descriptions of what each file is about and how to use it:

--climatology_diurnal_cycle_large_scale_forcing.mat
  Can be easily accessed by matlab (load) or python (scipy.io.loadmat)
  Diurnal composites of large scale forcing variables simulated by the 
  Multiscale Modelling Framework. Used to produce Figure 7 (relative humidity)
  in the main manuscript and Figure S5 in the supplemental materials

--climatology_diurnal_cycle_surface.mat
  Diurnal composites of surface variables simulated by the Multiscale Modelling 
  Framework. Used to produce Figure S3 and S4 in the supplemental materials

--diurnal_cycle_all_annual.mat
  Annual diurnal composites of the occurrences of clouds, drizzle and light precipitation,
  heavy precipitation and all the hydrometeors. The upperbound and lowerbound of each
  profile gotten from the moving-bootstrap method are also included. 
  Used to generate Figures 5 & S1

--diurnal_cycle_all_seasonal.mat
  Seasonal diurnal composites of the occurrences of clouds, drizzle and light precipitation,
  heavy precipitation and all the hydrometeors. The upperbound and lowerbound of each
  profile gotten from the moving-bootstrap method are also included. 
  Used to generate Figures 6 & S2
