Cascade was a NERC funded consortium project to study organized convection and scale interactions in the tropical atmosphere using large domain cloud system resolving model simulations. This dataset contains data from the xeydaa simulation which ran using the Met Office Unified Model (UM) at 1.5km horizontal resolution over the domain 20W-20E, 5S-28N which encompasses the west african monsoon. Cascade Africa simulations are used to study African Easterly Waves. This dataset contains 1.5km Africa model measurements from xeydaa run.

Level 2 data (vertical columns of trace gases) from the SCanning Imaging Absorption spectroMeter for Atmospheric CHartographY (SCIAMACHY). SCHIAMACHY was one of the ten instruments on-board the Envisat satellite launched from Kourou (French Guyana) on the 28th of February 2002. Envisat was operated by the European Space Agency (ESA) until May 2012. SCIAMACHY was used to provide global measurements of trace gases in the troposphere and the stratosphere. These data are calculated using the radiance observations and known absorption spectra of such gases. Fully reprocessed Level 2 data is available, with samples of near-real-time (nrt) and consolidated (result of a first processing by ESA to eliminate bad data and perform a few basic checks) data.

Cascade was a NERC funded consortium project to study organized convection and scale interactions in the tropical atmosphere using large domain cloud system resolving model simulations. The xewxaa simulation was made using the Met Office Unified Model (UM) at 40km resolution over the domain 40E-183E, 22S-22N which encompasses the Indian Ocean West Pacific Warm Pool. Cascade Warm Pool simulations coincide with the Year of Tropical Convection. This dataset contains Warm Pool 40km model measurements from xewxaa run.
