| Summary: | The data set consists of model data from simulations of the atmospheric flow over different configurations of leads in sea ice. Leads are elongated channels in sea ice over which strong convection can develop, especially between late autumn and spring due to large spatial temperature differences in that season. Lead-generated convection can considerably influence the structure of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL), not only on a local but also on a more regional scale. All simulations (18 in total, see Table 1) were carried out with the non-eddy-resolving MEsoscale TRansport And Stream model (METRAS, Schlünzen et al., 2018a, b). Every simulation was forced with the same idealised initial inflow conditions of a springtime ABL typically observed in the polar ocean regions. Hence, the data is not georeferenced and the outputs are given with respect to a Cartesian coordinate system. The simulations refer to six different idealised configurations of leads in sea ice (three runs for each case). All cases consist ... |
