Large-Eddy Simulation and Statistical Metric Results for Patterned Sea Ice Surfaces

Large-eddy simulations were employed over five different sea ice patterns, with a constant ice fraction, to test if the overlying atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) dynamics and thermodynamics differs.

Description
Summary:Large-eddy simulations were employed over five different sea ice patterns, with a constant ice fraction, to test if the overlying atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) dynamics and thermodynamics differs. The results of these simulations were used to determine that there were differences in vertical heat flux, momentum flux, and horizontal wind speed, and that more surface information is needed to predict the ABL over the sea ice surface. To see what other surface information is needed, twenty-two landscape metrics were calculated over forty-four different maps at differing resolutions, using the FRAGSTATs program. The results of that analysis are available in a .csv file in this dataset. all_het_data_cellsize0020.csv, all_het_data_cellsize0050.csv, all_het_data_cellsize0100.csv, all_het_data_cellsize0200.csv, all_het_data_cellsize0500.csv, all_het_data_cellsize1000.csv, all_het_data_cellsize2000.csv, all_het_data_cellsize0002.csv, all_het_data_cellsize0010.csv, pattern8_3D_u.txt, pattern8_3D_uw.txt, pattern8_3D_v.txt, pattern8_3D_vw.txt, pattern8_3D_w.txt, pattern8_3D_wt.txt, pattern9_3D_sgst3.txt, pattern9_3D_theta.txt, pattern9_3D_txz.txt, pattern9_3D_tyz.txt, pattern9_3D_u.txt, pattern9_3D_uw.txt, pattern9_3D_v.txt, pattern9_3D_vw.txt, pattern9_3D_w.txt, pattern9_3D_wt.txt, pattern5_3D_sgst3.txt, pattern5_3D_theta.txt, pattern5_3D_txz.txt, pattern5_3D_tyz.txt, pattern5_3D_u.txt, pattern5_3D_uw.txt, pattern5_3D_v.txt, pattern5_3D_vw.txt, pattern5_3D_w.txt, pattern5_3D_wt.txt, pattern6_3D_sgst3.txt, pattern6_3D_theta.txt, pattern6_3D_txz.txt, pattern6_3D_tyz.txt, pattern6_3D_u.txt, pattern6_3D_uw.txt, pattern6_3D_v.txt, pattern6_3D_vw.txt, pattern6_3D_w.txt, pattern6_3D_wt.txt, pattern7_3D_sgst3.txt, pattern7_3D_theta.txt, pattern7_3D_txz.txt, pattern7_3D_tyz.txt, pattern7_3D_u.txt, pattern7_3D_uw.txt, pattern7_3D_v.txt, pattern7_3D_vw.txt, pattern7_3D_w.txt, pattern7_3D_wt.txt, pattern8_3D_sgst3.txt, pattern8_3D_theta.txt, pattern8_3D_txz.txt, pattern8_3D_tyz.txt, README.txt
