Spin-up time and internal variability analysis for overlapping time slices in a regional climate model

In order to increase computational efficiency, several long-term regional climate simulations were split into overlappings time slices. These overlappings slices were used to explore the relative role of spin-up time and internal variability in the discontinuities that are produced once the slices are joined.

This dataset was generated using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model and includes two sets of time slices for the periods 2002-2006 and 2006-2010 over the CORDEX South American domain at 0.44º horizontal resolution (SAM-44), regular on a rotated latitude-longitude projection. The data was forced by the scenario RCP 8.5 and driven by the Canadian Earth System model (CanESM2). The model configuration files are also attached.
