Description

This third part of the dataset contains the additional data of Hawaii test scene (39320E) used for pre-launch studies of EarthCAREs retrieval algorithms and data management system: the data of number concentration of hydrometeors and aerosols, and vertical wind speed. The Hawaii test frame is 6200 km long and 200 km wide with horizontal grid-spacing of 250 km and 57 vertical layers. The simulation is initialized at 12:00 UTC 23-Jun-2015 and saved at 00h00 UTC on 24-Jun-2015. This frame crosses the central Pacific Ocean, near Hawaii, with a mesoscale convective system (MCS) in its center, clear skies in the north and south part of the frame, and a weak frontal system at its southern extremity.
