GFDL Aquaplanet Model Output: Precipitation Sensitivity Across Four Resolutions

Aquaplanet simulations from a GFDL global atmospheric model at four horizontal resolutions, from 50 km to 6 km. The dataset includes selected variables and analysis scripts supporting a manuscript submitted to the Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems. It was authored by Pu Lin of Princeton University.

Use Cases

• Analyze resolution sensitivity of equatorial precipitation based on the four specified model resolutions (c192, c384, c768, c1536).
• Benchmark atmospheric model performance based on aquaplanet simulation outputs described in the manuscript.
• Study the vertical coordinate system's role in precipitation simulation based on the included model specification.

Strengths

• Includes model output from four distinct horizontal resolutions, enabling direct comparison.
• Associated with a formal manuscript submitted to a peer-reviewed journal, suggesting scientific rigor.

Limitations

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