Monthly precipitation fields over Greenland

grl_rembo_xx_precmm.dat

Created with the regional energy and moisture balance model REMBO
using the the setup as described in Robinson et al. (2010). If you
use these precipitation fields, please cite this paper.

The horizontal resolution of the original data is 100 km [on the
stereographic projection described in Bamber et al. (2001)].
Boundary conditions for temperature and humidity are from the ERA-40
data (Uppala et al., 2005). These monthy climatological fields are
averaged from 1958 to 2001. They are applied as lateral boundary
conditions to the Greenland domain for the REMBO model.

Interpolation on the EPSG:3413 grid and upsampling to xx=40, 20, 10
and 05 km resolution by Ralf Greve.

grl_rembo_xx_precma.dat -
Mean annual precipitation resulting from grl_rembo_xx_precmm.dat.

grl_rembo_xx_zs_ref.dat - Reference surface topography.
Original resolution 100 km, was used to compute the gradients in
Eq. (5) by Robinson et al. (2010). Interpolation on the EPSG:3413 grid
and upsampling to xx=40, 20, 10 and 05 km resolution by Ralf Greve.
