This repository contains the model files to reproduce the results in: The Moisture-Entrainment-Convection feedback can be sufficient to cause Spontaneous Tropical Cyclone Genesis by Argel Ramirez Reyes and Da Yang (in revision for GRL).
- The model is the system for atmospheric modeling, SAM, version 6.10.6 and it can be found in /model.
To reproduce the results, you must first replace the files found in model/SAM6.10.6/SRC with the ones found in model/modified_src. These files contain my additions and modifications.
- buoyancy.f90 was modified by Da Yang to be able to turn off the buoyancy effect of water vapor
- domain.f90 is modified to create our domain
- nudging.f90 was modified to be able to relax the water vapor field in the clear sky
Additionally, model/SAM6.10.6/SRC/SGS_TKE_ARR contains the modified subgrid scale to disable the mixing of water vapor.
- model/initial_soundings contain the initial condition used for this study
- model/namelists contain the scripts used to create the namelists and launch simulations
-
src/ Contains julia source files to detect TCs and to compute quantities as inflow and updraft ratio
-
notebooks contain plotting scripts to reproduce the figures
