The butterfly effect is a property of the atmosphere, where tiny-amplitude initial perturbations grow quickly in areas of convection and latent heat release, then spreading out and moving upscale, eventually affecting even the largest planetary scales. This process takes about two weeks and...

This dataset contains output from large-eddy simulations of shallow cumulus clouds, each driven by one of three different radiative transfer solvers. The simulations were performed with the PALM model on a grid with 100 m horizontal and 50 m vertical resolution. After an 11-hour spin-up period,...

This dataset contains Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model output with five different cloud microphysics schemes for 30 convective precipitation days in 2019 and 2020. A key feature is the large number of simulation days at high horizontal grid spacing (400 m) which allows for a...

This dataset contains 30 days of model and radar data of convective precipitation over the Munich area gridded to the same Cartesian grid with 400 m horizontal grid spacing. A key feature of this data set is easy statistical comparison of simulated convective precipitation with polarimetric...

This publication contains a new database of radar-relevant optical properties for a wide range of ice crystal shapes and aggregates, computed using the discrete dipole approximation (DDA) at 5.6, 9.6, 35.6, and 94 GHz. The database includes over 2,600 individual crystals and 450 aggregates with...
