Tiwi Island thunderstorm trend simulations

Experiment title :bell:: Tiwi Island thunderstorm simulations under 5-year November climatology

Summary :bell:: In finishing up our thunderstorm simulations we would like to run 11 more simulations based on 5-yearly climatological November pre-monsoon conditions. These periods are 1970 to 1974, … , 2020 to 2024. We have already run these simulations using zero winds at the initial and boundary conditions but now we would like to run them with the climatological winds included.

Scientific motivation: Investigating thunderstorm trends in cloud top height, updraft strength, initiation time, rainfall amount. We will also look at thunderstorm tops as a warming troposphere combined with a cooling stratosphere associated with climate change may have affected conditions at the tropopause over the last several decades.
