Meteograms of Ny-Ålesund for ICON-LEM maritime aerosols simulations

  • 1. University of Cologne

Description

This data contains the simulation data as meteogram from ICON-LEM simulations with ca. 600 m resolution. The output location is Ny-Ålesund. The data is for the months Aug and Oct 2021. This data was used in the PhD thesis of Theresa Kiszler. Thesis title: "Improving our understanding of cloud phase-partitioning using long-term cloud-resolving simulations of Svalbard".

The original simulation setup is is described in the method section of the paper "A Performance Baseline for the Representation of Clouds and Humidity in Cloud-Resolving ICON-LEM Simulations in the Arctic" by Kiszler et al. (2023).  https://doi.org/10.1029/2022MS003299

The following adaptation has been made to the simulation settings: The CCN activation is based on a version by Segal and Khain (2006) using the lowest possible number concentration, i.e. maritime aerosols. The INP nucleation follows the paper by Phillips et al. (2008) only using dust as aerosol. The implementation of the mentioned schemes was not done by us, only the settings were changed to use these schemes instead of the default version.
