-
This dataset contains climate model output data from the NCAR
Nested Regional Climate Model (NRCM). The NRCM combines the
strengths of the NCAR Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model
and the NCAR Community Climate System Model (CCSM) into an
instrument that will allow for fundamental progress on the
understanding and prediction of regional climate variability and
change. In particular, embedding WRF within CCSM will allow
scientists to resolve processes that occur at the regional scale, as
well as the influence of those processes on the large-scale climate,
thereby improving the fidelity of climate change simulations and
their utility for local and regional planning.
The output fields in this dataset consist of two- and
three-dimensional arrays at three- and six-hourly intervals. A basic
set of three-dimensional parameters is provided on model pressure
levels: relative humidity, temperature, wind components,
geopotential height, and potential vorticity. Additional
two-dimensional parameters are provided at the model surface or
near-surface level, and potential vorticity arrays are also provided
on the 320 K and 345 K isentropic surfaces.
Data are available as monthly time series files in NetCDF. The data
currently provided are from the climate runs with regional model
domain extending over the eastern North Pacific Ocean, North
Atlantic Ocean, North and Central America, northern South America,
Continental Europe, and North Africa. The simulation covers the
periods 1995-2005, 2020-2030, and 2045-2055.
