Description
The dataset contains monthly output of a COSMO-CLM² (COSMO-CLM coupled to the Community Land Model) atmospheric hindcast simulation over Antarctica which is described and evaluated in the following paper:
Souverijns, N., Gossart, A., Demuzere, M., Lenaerts, J.T.M., Medley, B., Gorodetskaya, I.V., Vanden Broucke, S., van Lipzig, N.P.M., 2019. A new Regional Climate Model for POLAR-CORDEX: Evaluation of a 30-year Hindcast with COSMO-CLM² over Antarctica. Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 124, 1405-1427. (doi:10.1029/2018JD028862)
Details of the model simulation:
- COSMO-CLM version 5.0_clm6
- Community Land Model version 4.5
- Horizontal resolution: 0.25°x0.25°
- Vertical resolution: 40 levels
- Time period: 1987-2016 (excluding 4 years of spin-up)
- Driving model: ERA-Interim
The data provided here has a monthly time resolution and contains the monthly average of all variables except denoted otherwise below. As such, each file consists of 360 time steps.

- ALB: Surface albedo [-] (only for austral summer months)
- ALHFL_S: Surface latent heat flux [W m-2]
- ALWD_S: Downward longwave radiation at the surface [W m-2]
- ALWU_S: Upward longwave radiation at the surface [W m-2]
- ASHFL_S: Surface sensible heat flux [W m-2]
- ASOB_S: Surface net downward shortwave radiation [W m-2]
- ASWDIFD_S: Diffuse downward shortwave radiation at the surface [W m-2]
- ASWDIFU_S: Diffuse upward shortwave radiation at the surface [W m-2]
- ASWDIR_S: Direct downward shortwave radiation at the surface [W m-2]
- ATHB_S: Surface net downward longwave radiation at the surface [W m-2]
- P: Pressure at 40 vertical levels [Pa]
- QV: Specific humidity at 40 vertical levels [kg kg-1]
- RH2M: Relative humidity at 2 meter [%]
- SNOW_GSP: Surface snowfall amount [kg m-2] (summed value for each month)
