This is in part due to existing climate model deficiencies and due to our limited understanding of tropical convection. To alleviate those limitations, this dataset contains post-processed output from aquaplanet experiments using different sea-surface temperatures (SST). The aquaplanet framework is an idealized representation of Earth, enabling fundamental studies on oceanic weather systems and its interactions with the mean climate. Three experiments are included, all of which use the Model for Prediction Across Scales-Atmosphere version 8.0 with 3-km cell spacing between 10S-30N and 15 km cell spacing elsewhere. The experiments are named CTL, minus4K, and plus4K. CTL uses a meridional SST profile mimicking present boreal summer conditions, whereas minus4K and plus4K use meridional profiles mimicking a cooler (CTL - 4K) and warmer (CTL + 4K) climate, respectively. The model output was conservatively interpolated to latitude-longitude grids using the Climate Data Operator software. This dataset contains 6-hourly interpolated output for six months in each experiment. completed datahelp@ucar.edu pointOfContact notPlanned dataset https://gdex.ucar.edu/images/ds_logos/default_200_200.png Logo thumbnail from URL png HDF5/NetCDF4 dataset Resource Type 2021-03-30 revision 4.4 DataCite Metadata Working Group orginator resourceTypeGeneral MODELS > MODELS U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration Global Change Master Directory GCMD 2026-02-27 revision 23.4 NASA Global Change Master Directory orginator Valids List: Platforms EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > WEATHER EVENTS > TROPICAL CYCLONES EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > CLOUDS > CONVECTIVE CLOUDS/SYSTEMS (OBSERVED/ANALYZED) > TROPICAL OCEANIC CLOUD SYSTEMS EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > CLOUDS > CONVECTIVE CLOUDS/SYSTEMS (OBSERVED/ANALYZED) > CLOUD CLUSTERS U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration Global Change Master Directory GCMD 2026-02-27 revision 23.4 NASA Global Change Master Directory orginator Valids List: Science and Services Keywords Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License None eng utf-8 climatologyMeteorologyAtmosphere NSF NCAR Geoscience Data Exchange datahelp@ucar.edu https://gdex.ucar.edu distributor 526746.72 https://gdex.ucar.edu/datasets/d809019/ https Dataset Description Related Link information https://gdex.ucar.edu/datasets/d809019/dataaccess/ https Data Access Related Link download none asNeeded
