Dataset
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,...
