Cirrus Cloud Thinning Simulation Data for Prognostic Seeding Analysis

A tar file of netCDF4 data used to prepare plots and text for the manuscript 'Does prognostic seeding along flight tracks produce the desired effects of cirrus cloud thinning?' submitted to Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (ACP). The data was authored by Colin Tully of ETH Zurich and is shared under an Open Access (green) license. A README file describes the contents of each netCDF file.

Use Cases

• Validate climate model outputs for cirrus cloud thinning based on simulation data.
• Analyze the effects of prognostic seeding along flight tracks on cloud properties.
• Reproduce figures and analyses from the associated ACP manuscript.

Strengths

• Data is directly linked to a peer-reviewed manuscript submission to ACP.
• Includes a descriptive README file for each netCDF file.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
