Description

This repository contains a list of detected sea-effect snowfall days and corresponding precipitation and lightning figures related to the ASR Special Issue: 19th EMS Annual Meeting: European Conference for Applied Meteorology and Climatology 2019 journal article “Statistics of sea-effect snowfall along the Finnish coastline based on regional climate model data”, Adv. Sci. Res., 17, 87–104, 2020, https://doi.org/10.5194/asr-17-87-2020.

Repository includes:
1. Dates_Sea-effect_Snowfall.xlsx
2. TOTPREC_RCA4.zip
3. SNOWFALL_RCA4.zip
4. TOTPREC_FMIClimGrid_obs.zip
5. RADAR_FMI.zip
6. LightningStrokes.zip

  • Dates_Sea-effect_Snowfall.xlsx includes a table of dates and areas where favorable conditions to produce sea-effect snowfall in Finland were fulfilled based on RCA4 data.
  • TOTPREC_RCA4.zip includes figures of daily total precipitation during the detected sea-effect snowfall days as simulated by RCA4 (mm/day). Figure names include the date and area the sea-effect snowfall was detected.
  • SNOWFALL_RCA4.zip includes figures of daily total snowfall during the detected sea-effect snowfall days as simulated by RCA4 (mm/day as water equivalent). Figure names include the date and area the sea-effect snowfall was detected.
  • TOTPREC_FMIClimGrid_obs.zip includes figures of observed total precipitation during the detected sea-effect snowfall days by FMIClimGrid (mm/day).
  • RADAR_FMI.zip: Radar reflectivity images (instantaneous) for at least one time during the sea-effect snowfall days (dBZ).
  • LightningStrokes.zip: Lightning stroke images when lightning was observed (location of strokes and the UTC-time it was observed) during the detected sea-effect snowfall days.
