| Summary: | Information on this LES model can be found in these two papers: https://doi.org/10.1175/JAS3826.1 and https://doi.org/10.1063/1.1839152 Corresponding paper: Fogarty, J., Bou-Zeid, E. The Atmospheric Boundary Layer Above the Marginal Ice Zone: Scaling, Surface Fluxes, and Secondary Circulations. Boundary-Layer Meteorol (2023). https://doi.org/10.1007/s10546-023-00825-x Large-eddy simulations were employed over half-ice and half-water surfaces, with varying surface temperatures, wind speeds, directions, as to test if the atmospheric interaction with the heterogeneous surface can be predicted via a heterogeneity Richardson number. This dataset was used to determine that surface heat fluxes over ice, water, and the aggregate surface seem to be captured reasonably well by the wind direction and the heterogeneity Richardson number, but the mean wind and turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) profiles were not, suggesting that not only the difference in stability between the two surface, but also the individual stabilities over each surface influence the dynamics. The research was supported by the US National Science Foundation under award number AGS 2128345 and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce under by award NA18OAR4320123. The statements, findings, conclusions, and recommendations are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or the U.S. Department of Commerce. Along with a README, this dataset contains simulation results in the format of dT{xx}-M{y}-{pppp}_{var}_{avg}, where {xx} is the temperature difference between ice and water at the surface, {y} is the geostrophic wind speed, {pppp} is the surface geostrophic wind direction (either 'perp' or 'parl'), {var} is the nondimensional variable, and - {avg} is the averaging procedure (either 'xyt' or 'yt').
