Abstract:
1. Double ITCZ remains a challenging problem in climate models. We developed and implemented a new statistical cloud macrophysics scheme (called as Gauss-PDF) in NCAR CESM1.2.1. It shows the ability to improve the marine low cloud simulation and double ITCZ bias in coupled simulation when compared to the default cloud scheme (called as Park-RH).
2. Using Park-RH and Gauss-PDF, two coupled simulations forced by present-day climatological forcing (12 years) were conducted. Monthly mean atmospheric (atm) and oceanic (ocn) model simulations are archived here. The resolution is around 2 latitude x 2 longitude.
3. Because of the large size of each file, we separated all data into 100 M small files. "post-process.sh" is used to transfer these small files into the raw data.
BC5_f19g16_cosp denotes the simulation with Park-RH scheme. BC5_f19g16_mac2_cosp denotes the simulation with Gauss-PDF scheme.
