Results of a Survey on Obstacle Resolving Model Data

This publication includes the results of the online survey "Obstacle resolving model data survey"  which was available via https://www.uhh.de/orm-survey until June 2022. The data was collected between October 2019 and June 2022. The survey was created with the survey tool limesurvey (https://www.limesurvey.org/).

The aim of the survey was to collect information on obstacle-resolving atmospheric models and their data, targeting the modeler community. As a part of the project AtMoDat (www.atmodat.de (https://www.atmodat.de/)) we invited the obstacle-resolving modeling community to contribute with their experience with obstacle-resolving models (ORM) and its model data, what models were used and how the user handles the data. We want to develop a data standard for obstacle-resolving model data, which shall be similar to existing standards. Therefore we need some information about the use and processing of model data. This survey asks about the usage of different obstacle-resolving models and/or outputs. 

The survey is divided into two parts, the first part contains questions about model properties and the second part contains questions about how the participants handle model data.
