Abstract
Cascade was a NERC funded consortium project to study organized convection and scale interactions in the tropical atmosphere using large domain cloud system resolving model simulations. The xfhfc simulation was made using the Met Office Unified Model (UM) at 4km resolution over the domain 40E-183E, 22S-22N which encompasses the Indian Ocean West Pacific Warm Pool. Cascade Warm Pool simulations coincide with the Year of Tropical Convection.
This dataset contains Warm Pool 4km model measurements from xfhfc run.
