Description
Summary:General description The dataset comprises 1D atmospheric broadband radiative transfer simulations for the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) expedition. All simulated experiments are based on the following data inputs: Atmospheric profiles of temperature, pressure, and specific humidity from ERA5. Skin temperature from ice-floe observations. Cloud macro and microphysical properties derived using the ShupeTurner methodology. The files contain all available data simulations in monthly files from 2019-10-15 to 2020-09-20 at 1-minute resolution from 0 to 20 km height. Three experiments were conducted using different sources of surface albedo. a1 assumes the same collocated surface albedo as Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) SYN products. a2 is based on daily means observations from ice-floe observations at Atmospheric Surface Flux Stations(ASFS) 30. a3 is based on daily means observations from ice-floe observations at Atmospheric Surface Flux Stations(ASFS) 50.
