This dataset describes simulations in the paper "Comparing growth rates of moist and dry
convective thermals", by H. Morrison et al. submitted to the Journal of the Atmospheric
Sciences. All data are generated from the Cloud Model 1 (CM1) developed and maintained by
Dr. George Bryan. The model version is Release 18.3 (cm1r18.3). CM1 code can be obtained from
the CM1 web page: https://www2.mmm.ucar.edu/people/bryan/cm1/

Three types of simulations were run for this work: axisymmetric dry runs, axisymmetric moist runs, and
LES. Dry simulations (namelist, executable, and netcdf model output files) are named with "dry" and
each simulation is labelled as the following for both the Netcdf output files and the namelist.input files:

test45: 750-m bubble control run
test46: as in test45 but initial perturbation theta of 3 K
test47: as in test45 but initial perturbation theta of 4 K
test48: as in test45 but initial perturbation theta of 5 K
test52: as in test45 but heating spread across thermal, rate of 0.015 K/s
test53: as in test52 but heating rate of 0.01 K/s
test54: as in test52 but heating rate of 0.005 K/s
test55: as in test45 but heating confined to thermal core, rate of 0.015 K/s
test56: as in test55 but heating rate of 0.01 K/s
test57: as in test55 but heating rate of 0.005 K/s

Moist axisymmetric simulations (namelist, executable, and netcdf model output files) are similarly named
with "moist" and is labelled as the following for both the Netcdf output files and the namelist.input files:

test36: 750-m control run
test37: as in test36 but no evaporation
test38: as in test36 but WK sounding with RH = 42.5%
test39: as in test38 but no evaporation
test40: as in test38 but RH = 85%
test41: as in test40, but initial perturbation theta of 1.95 K
test42: as in test40, but initial perturbation theta of	2.05 K
test43: as in test38, but initial perturbation theta of 1.95 K
test44: as in test38, but initial perturbation theta of	2.05 K
test45: as in test36, but initial perturbation theta of	1.95 K
test46: as in test36, but initial perturbation theta of 2.05 K
test47: as in test37, but initial perturbation theta of 1.95 K
test48: as in test37, but initial perturbation theta of 2.05 K
test49: as in test36 but "full" latent heating (not reduced by factor of 4)

Netcdf files cover all output times for a given simulation. Output times are every 15 secm between 0 and 30 minutes,
with the except of moist_test39 which contains only 49 output times (this includes time of interest before a CFL-
induced model crash).

Because the output from the 3D LES is very large, we instead have saved the namelist file. This is in file
"namelist.input_LES"
