Description
This dataset contains data sampled from a WRF sensitivity study saved in NetCDF format. The study was run over 4 months of the year 2020. The folders contain the following data:
| File | Datasets | Description |
| wrf_met_sample_full.nc | all | WRF meteorology sampled at the 19 weather stations in the simulation domain |
| wrf_met_sample_full_and_quant.nc | all | As above, but resampled onto the measured meteorology and with summary statistics |
| wrf_met_sample_full_ucmheights.nc | only 2020_12 | Same as wrf_met_sample_full.nc but only for the run using the vertical layer distribution of UCM |
| wrf_met_sample_full_and_quant_ucmheights.nc | only 2020_12 | Same as wrf_met_sample_full_and_quant.nc but only for the run using the vertical layer distribution of UCM |
| wrf_pblh_sample_full.nc | all | WRF PBLH (and custom PBLH_RIB) sampled at the 2 radio sonde stations in the simulation domain |
| wrf_pblh_sample_full_and_quant.nc | all | As above, but resampled onto the measured meteorology and with summary statistics |
| era5_met_sample_full.nc | all | ERA5 meteorology sampled at the 19 weather stations in the simulation domain |
| era5_met_sample_full_and_quant.nc | all | As above, but resampled onto the measured meteorology and with summary statistics |
| era5_pblh_sample_full_and_quant.nc | all | WRF PBLH (and custom PBLH_RIB) sampled at the 2 radio sonde stations in the simulation domain, resampled onto the measured meteorology and with summary statistics |
Each of these files contains the samples and statistics as NetCDF Variables. These Variables have multiple dimensions, which describe the individual datapoints. For the WRF samples, these dimensions are:
| Dimension | Description |
| Time | time since start of simulation |
| station_id | the ID of the station where the sample was taken (meteo - length 19, PBLH - length 2) |
| pbl | Planetary Boundary Layer scheme (Bou-Lac / MYJ / YSU) |
| lsm | Land Surface Model scheme (N / NMP) |
| slm | Surface Layer Model scheme (MM5 / MO) |
| urb | Urban Parametrization scheme (SLUCM / BEP) |
Not all combinations between different simulation schemes exist, so some values in the NetCDF Variables are NaNs.
