Link to preprint in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics
Plotting notebooks to reproduce all figures in the paper are located in ./figure-notebooks.
NOTE: Data is not included in this repository. To download required data, run ./get_model_data.sh and ./get_obs_data.sh.
A Conda environment is included. If you do not have conda installed, I recommend miniconda. Create the environment and launch a Jupyter Lab instance with:
conda create env -f environment.yml
conda activate arctic-clouds-plots
jupyter lab

No data is included in this repo. Data must be downloaded by running the two bash scripts in the base directory of this repo.
./get_model_data.sh
./get_obs_data.sh
Note: the get_obs_data.sh script will download approximately 8 Gb of data
All observation data from oliktok point is from the Department of Energy (DOE) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility at Oliktok Pt, Alaska. Data from the download script are hosted on a UC Davis compute cluster, and can also be found at https://adc.arm.gov/discovery/#/results/site_code::oli
All data from ASCOS downloaded by the script comes directly from ASCOS data sources: either https://bolin.su.se/data/ascos, http://www.ascos.se, or ftp://ftp1.esrl.noaa.gov/psd3/cruises/ASCOS_2008/ODEN/radar/mmcr/DAMOCLES
Radar, sounding, and microwave radiometer data from summit downloaded comes from https://adc.arm.gov/discovery/#/results/site_code::smt. The aerosol data was taken from the UK Centre for Environmental Data Analysis (CEDA) and can be cited as follows:
Guy, H.; Neely III, R.R.; Brooks, I. (2020): ICECAPS-ACE: surface aerosol concentration measurements
(condensation nuclei > 5nm diameter) taken at Summit Station Greenland. Centre for Environmental Data Analysis,
date of citation. https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/uuid/f56980457ce240ccab5ac6d403c81e7a
but has been re-hosted on a UC Davis compute cluster for easier access.
Plots 2,3, and 4 use ECMWF ERA5 reanalysis data, obtained from https://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds633.0/ and distributed under CC BY 4.0
