Description:

* Post-processed model outputs are divided in the types of datasets: de.25*.nc (includes most of the variables), pw_deg.25*.nc (precipitable water), Qr_deg.25*.nc (radiation fluxes)

* Folders for each simulation also include the respective namelist.atmosphere file.

* CTRL folder: includes the post-processed model outputs for the control reference experiment.

* MOIST folder: includes the post-processed model outputs for the moist (relative humidity increased by 20 % and capped at 100 %) reference experiment.

* DRY0.5 folder: includes the post-processed model outputs for the dry at 50 % (relative humidity decreased by 50 %) reference experiment.

* DRY0.8 folder: includes the post-processed model outputs for the dry at 80 % (relative humidity decreased by 50 %) reference experiment.

* Note that each set of reference experiment also has sets of _pert and pert2 simulations and thus, a total of 12 simulations. 

* Below you will find additional information on the variables used in the manuscript.

Additional Information:
------------------------------

1- Add “rainc” (accumulated convective precipitation in mm) and “rainnc” (accumulated total grid-scale precipitation in mm) to obtain total rainfall rates and also subtract previous hour amounts in order to get hourly rates. In Python: 
	a. precip = (ds_new.rainc.sel(lat=slice(0, 18), lon=slice(-33, 18)) + ds_new.rainnc.sel(lat=slice(0, 18), lon=slice(-33,18)) ).diff('xtime')

2- 700-hPa relative vorticity is calculated using “uzonal_700hPa” (reconstructed zonal wind at cell centers, vertically interpolated to 850 hP in m s^{-1}) and “umeridional_700hPa” (reconstructed meridional wind at cell centers, vertically interpolated to 850 hP in m s^{-1})) variables

3- "dtheta_dt_mp_isobaric"- Potential temperature heating rate from microphysics in K s^{-1}

4- “umeridional_isobaric”- Meridional wind interpolated to isobaric surfaces in m s^{-1}

5- “uzonal_isobaric”- Zonal wind interpolated to isobaric surfaces in m s^{-1}

6- “qv_isobaric”- Water vapor mixing ratio interpolated to isobaric surfaces in kg kg^{-1}
	a. Is used to calculate specific humidity. Specific humidity is then used in the column saturation fraction, net moisture flux, and moisture flux convergence calculations in the manuscript. 

7- “rh_isobaric”- Relative humidity interpolated to isobaric surfaces in %

8- Vertical mass flux (w x rho) is calculated using "w_isobaric" (vertical wind interpolated to isobaric surfaces in m s^{-1}) and "rho_isobaric" (dry air density interpolated to isobaric surfaces in kg/m^3)
