Data purpose

The dataset is used as part of the urbisphere-Berlin multi-scale modelling activities, including the numerical weather prediction (NWP) and observation site characterization. As the UK Met Office (UKMO) Unified Model (UM) uses a rotated pole projection to construct the model grid, there are two versions of the model grid: (1) unrotated used for the UM NWP modelling, and (2) rotated for data presentation, other local scale modelling and to complement analysis of atmospheric observations and surveys.
