The simulation was carried out on a HPC facility provided by the Ministry of Earth Science, Government of India at Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, Pune (http://pratyush.tropmet.res.in/). The computational time and data storage was provided through the HPCS project. The authors thank Dr. Jason R. Picardo, IIT Bombay, India, for helpful discussions to understand the physics in the animations generated in this study.
The visualizations were created using computing and storage resources provided by the Computational and Information Systems Lab at the National Center for Atmospheric Research.
