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 xfncl simulation was made using the Met Office Unified Model (UM) at 1.5km 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 1.5km model measurements from xfncl run.

| Data lineage: |
Data were generated using the Met Office Unified Model (UM) at 1.5km horizontal resolution over the domain 40E-183E, 22S-22N. Cascade data has been converted to CF-netCDF by the cascade team using one of two tools: UKMOIDL or xconv, then passed on to the BADC for archiving. |
