| Summary: | This archive contains the Python code used to analyse and plot the data in Hammond & Lewis 2021, "The rotational and divergent components of atmospheric circulation on tidally locked planets",
as well as the data from the "terrestrial" simulation of the atmosphere of a rocky planet using the general circulation model ExoFMS.
It contains three files:
1) HL21_plotter.ipynb
This is a Jupyter notebook containing Python code.
It reads the data from the ExoFMS simulation and finds its rotational and divergent parts.
It then plots the figures used in Hammond & Lewis 2021.
2) data/rotdiv-terr-control-1000-2000_atmos_average_interp.nc
The "terrestrial" simulation output, interpolated to uniform pressure levels.
This is used to plot quantities such as velocity at a constant pressure.
3) data/rotdiv-terr-control-1000-2000_atmos_average.nc
The "terrestrial" simulation output, on the raw model sigma-pressure levels.
This is used to calculate the dry static energy budget.
The paper also uses a "Hot Jupiter" simulation from the THOR GCM.
This is from "THOR 2.0: Major Improvements to the Open-Source General Circulation Model" (Deitrick et al. 2020).
The data is available on request to Russell Deitrick (russell.deitrick@csh.unibe.ch).
The same analysis can be made using HL21_plotter.ipynb, with small modifications due to the different grid in THOR.
