Naming convention and formatting
Please adhere these requirements carefully to facilitate postprocessing.Name: setA_yourname, setB_yourname ......
(so in my case the data of set A are in one file called setA_lenderink, set B is in setB_lenderink ....)Formatting:
# Time = 12.30 UTC setA your name
(1) (2) .......... (10)
.
.
(two blanc lines)# Time = 13.30 UTC setA your name
etc....After each data block, two blanc lines should be added. Don't forget this, it makes
Gnuplot recognizing the different data blocks. Columns should be seperated by at least one empty space.
Here are the data sets:
Set A: Mean State
(1) Height at which a particular variable locates [m]
(2) {u} zonal velocity [m/s]
(3) {v} meridional velocity [m/s]

(5) {qt} Water (gas+liquid phases) mixing ratio [g/kg]
(6) {ql} Water (liquid phase) mixing ratio [g/kg]
(7) {qs} Saturation mixing ratio [g/kg]
(8) {rh} Relative Humidity [dimensionless %]
(9) cloud fraction [0:1]
(10) {dn0} Reference density [kg/m^3]
Set B: Fluxes (note the units, all variables must be multiplied
by models density!)

(8) {mas_qt} Massflux total water flux [W/m^2]
(9) {dif_thl} Diffusive theta_l flux [W/m^2]
(10) {mas_thl} Massflux theta_l flux [W/m^2]
Set C: Diffusion
(1) Height where the following variables locate [m]
(2) Eddy diffusivity heat/qt [m^2/s]
(3) Eddy diffusivity momentum [m^2/s]
(4) TKE [m^2/s^2]
(5) {shr_prd} Shear production [m^2/s^3]
(6) {boy_prd} Buoyancy production [m^2/s^3]
(7) {transport} Transport (turbulent plus pressure) [m^2/s^3]
(8) {dissipation} [m^2/s^3]
Set D: Mass flux
(1) Height where the following variables locate [m]Set E: Time series output
(2) mass flux [m/s]
(3) {t_c_bar} updraft liq. water pot. temperature [K]
(4) {b_c_bar} updraft virtual pot. temperature [K]
(5) {q_c_bar} updraft total water [g/kg]
(6) {l_c_bar} updraft liquid water [g/kg]
(1) {time} Time [seconds] (starting at 41400 s)
(2) {cf} cloud cover [0-1]
(3) {h_clbase} height cloud base [m]
(4) {h_clmax} height max cloud cover [m]
(5) {h_cltop} height cloud top [m]
(6) {tke_int} vertically integrated TKE [kg/s^2]
(7) {ql_int} vertically integrated liquid water [g/m^2]
(8) Averaged surface latent heat flux [W/m^2]
(9) Averaged surface sensible heat flux [W/m^2]
(10) total water at approx. 300 meter [g/kg]
(11) total water at approx. 1500 meter [g/kg]
(12) massflux at cloud base [m/s]
(13) K diffusion heat/qt at approx. 300 meter [m^2 / s]
(14) K diffusion heat/qt at approx. 1500 meter [m^2 / s]Terms 11-14 should be values at the nearest grid point. So, for lowest resolution take, 299 m, and 1428 m for qt. This output is requested to get an idea of the numerical noise in the integration. Don't interpolate because this would smooth things at bit. Please confirm which gridpoints you have taken.
