ECHAM6.3-HAM2.3-P3: Vertical Grid Refinement Data for Stratocumulus Clouds

Data supporting the publication on vertical grid refinement for stratocumulus clouds in the ECHAM6.3-HAM2.3-P3 global climate model. The data was used to produce figures for a paper authored by Paolo Pelucchi from ETH Zurich. The associated scripts are available in a separate Zenodo package.

Use Cases

• Reproduce publication figures based on the provided model output data.
• Validate the impact of vertical grid refinement on stratocumulus cloud representation.
• Benchmark alternative radiation scheme implementations against the ECHAM6.3-HAM2.3-P3 model.
• Analyze the sensitivity of cloud radiative effects to grid resolution changes.

Strengths

• Data is directly linked to a peer-reviewed publication in Geoscientific Model Development.
• Author affiliation is ETH Zurich, a leading research institution.
• Associated analysis scripts are provided via a separate, citable DOI.

Limitations

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