- Description:
- The simulations associated with this dataset form part of a broader investigation into the effects of heterogeneity in tall vegetated canopies, designed to emulate structural and aerodynamic characteristics of the Amazon rainforest. All cases are forced by a geostrophic wind of 9 m s⁻¹ under neutrally stratified conditions. The case "Hom_lim_9mps" features an almost non-existent vegetation density, with corresponding LAI values of 0.14, while the case “Empty_9mps” refers to a bare soil surface with no vegetation. Simulations were conducted using a Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) domain of size (Lx, Ly, Lz) = (2π, 2π, 1) km, where x, y, and z denote the streamwise, spanwise, and vertical directions. The computational grid consists of (Nx, Ny, Nz) = (256,256,256) points, yielding a spatial resolution of (Δx, Δy, Δz) = (24.5, 24.5, 3.9) m. An aerodynamic roughness length of z0 = 0.01 m is imposed at the surface. Time integration employs a fixed time step of Δt = 0.05 s. Simulations are spun up for 25 h, and data are sampled over the final 5 h of integration. To facilitate data access, a MATLAB script (main_load_snapshots.m) and a supporting function (load_snaps.m) are provided. These scripts load the binary files and organize them into 4D arrays for subsequent analysis. and See README file for data retrieval instructions.

- Description:
- The simulation associated with this dataset form part of a broader investigation into the effects of heterogeneity in tall vegetated canopies, designed to emulate structural and aerodynamic characteristics of the Amazon rainforest. This simulation is forced with streamwise normalized pressure gradient of (1/ρ) (dp/dx) = 1 , where the friction velocity u* = 0.58 m/s and the boundary layer height zi = 1000 m are used as normalizing variables (i.e., dp/dx ~ (u*)^2/zi), and ρ refers to the hydrostatic density. Neutrally stratified conditions are assumed. The homogeneous canopy is characterized by a Leaf Area Index (LAI) of 5.36. This simulation shares the same canopy geometry as the case Hom_eq_gaps_9mps in Deposit 1; however, it differs in that it is driven by a prescribed pressure gradient rather than by geostrophic forcing. The simulations was conducted using a Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) domain of size (Lx, Ly, Lz) = (2π, 2π, 1) km, where x, y, and z denote the streamwise, spanwise, and vertical directions. The computational grid consists of (Nx, Ny, Nz) = (256,256,256) points, yielding a spatial resolution of (Δx, Δy, Δz) = (24.5, 24.5, 3.9) m. An aerodynamic roughness length of z0 = 0.01 m is imposed at the surface. Time integration employs a fixed time step of Δt = 0.02 s. Simulations are spun up for 25 h, and data are sampled over the final 5 h of integration. To facilitate data access, a MATLAB script (main_load_snapshots.m) and a supporting function (load_snaps.m) are provided. These scripts load the binary files and organize them into 4D arrays for subsequent analysis. and See README file for data retrieval instructions.

- Description:
- The simulations associated with this dataset form part of a broader investigation into the effects of heterogeneity in tall vegetated canopies, designed to emulate structural and aerodynamic characteristics of the Amazon rainforest. All cases are forced by a geostrophic wind of 9 m s⁻¹ under neutrally stratified conditions. The homogeneous canopy cases differ in their vertical Leaf Area Density (LAD) distributions. Specifically, the case "Hom_Amazon_9mps" represents the canonical Amazon forest, characterized by a canopy height of hc = 39 m and a total Leaf Area Index (LAI) of 7.05. The canopy height is fixed across all cases. The remaining homogeneous configurations, i.e. "Hom_eq_gaps_9mps" and "Hom_eq_patches_9mps" feature a reduced LAD profile, with a corresponding LAI value of 5.36. Simulations were conducted using a Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) domain of size (Lx, Ly, Lz) = (2π, 2π, 1) km, where x, y, and z denote the streamwise, spanwise, and vertical directions. The computational grid consists of (Nx, Ny, Nz) = (256,256,256) points, yielding a spatial resolution of (Δx, Δy, Δz) = (24.5, 24.5, 3.9) m.
