Description

Full output file from the Weather and Research Forecasting (WRF) model for a 2 km resolution domain centered over the Southern Alps of New Zealand. Modelling period is 02-Feb-2011 00:00:00 UTC to 07-Feb-2011 00:00:00 UTC (5 days) with hourly output frequency. The data-set was generated in the framework of a case study to investigate the mesoscale influence of an atmospheric river on the mass balance of Brewster Glacier (Southern Alps) during a summertime melt event. For the related publication refer to https://doi.org/10.1029/2020JD034217.
