It comprises four different data sources: WRF simulations, radar observations, an idealized steady-state column model called the Bayesian Observationally-Constrained Statistical Scheme (BOSS), and idealized column rainshaft model using bin microphysics. The WRF simulations consist of output from a set of 11 runs using either bulk or bin microphysics schemes. The version of WRF is V3.9.1. To limit storage requirements, we have only saved a single time-slice of output at hour 6 of the simulations, along with the namelist.input file to generate these runs. The observational data are gridded and rotated composite NEXRAD reflectivity measurements from central Oklahoma. BOSS model output consists of microphysical parameter probability density functions and profiles of (as described in the meta-file for these data). The idealized bin microphysics rainshaft model output consists of profiles of drop mean size, reflectivity factor, precipitation rate, and drop concentration at two different time slices (described in the meta-data file for these data). We are requesting these data be added to the managed NCAR repository so they may be accessible to the community per AGU publication policy and in accordance with a U.S. DOE grant that partially supported this work.
