Supporting data for Narenpitak and Bretherton (2018): Understanding Negative Subtropical Shallow Cumulus Cloud Feedbacks in a Near-Global Aquaplanet Model Using Limited-Area Cloud-Resolving Simulations

Abstract

The data included here should enable the reproduction of the tables and plots in Narenpitak et al. (2018, J. Adv. Model. Earth Syst., submitted) and its Supporting Information, with the exception of two figures that are 3D images of the cloud fields and a schematic diagram. The dataset uploaded are (1) the domain-mean model outputs of the limited-area version of the System of Atmospheric Modeling (LASAM) simulations and (2) the quartile-binned statistics of the subtropics in near-global aquaplenet cloud-resolving simulations (NGAqua). The full 3D outputs are not included because of the large file size. Domain-mean outputs of LASAM simulations beyond that needed for the figures in the paper are included, so that the interested user may look at other cloud properties discussed in the paper using the data here.
