Temperature and wind speed time series on a 50 km^2 grid in Europe

This spatio-temporal dataset contains weather timeseries for locations on a grid with 50km edge length in Europe. The data is resolved in one hour timesteps and comprises the years 2000-2018. It has been generated directly from the MERRA-2 reanalysis dataset.

This data serves as an input to the Sector-Coupled Euro-Calliope model and has been generated to match the spatial resolution of the renewable energy generation capacity factors found at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3891480.

`temperature.nc` is air temperature at 2m above ground.

`tsoil5.nc` is soil temperature at layer 5.

`wind10m.nc` is wind speed at 10m above ground.
