The historical 10-year simulation was driven by the ERA-Interim global reanalysis data and observed sea surface temperature from October. 2002 to September 2012 (historical simulation). A high-resolution vertical coordinate was employed to better resolve the trade wind inversion (TWI). Results show that the historical simulation reproduces the mean surface temperature, relative humidity and winds with low biases (+/- 1 degree C, +/- 4 % and +/- 1 m/s, respectively) and high spatial correlations (correlation coefficient over 0.80). Additionally, for the historical simulation WRF accurately reproduced aggregated daily and hourly rainfall probability density functions (PDFs) and rainfall spatial-temporal distributions, likely because WRF captured the TWI properties well. The historical simulation outputs are available at hourly resolution for near surface (2-dimensional) fields and for the 3-dimensional atmosphere. completed datahelp@ucar.edu pointOfContact notPlanned dataset https://gdex.ucar.edu/images/ds_logos/default_200_200.png Logo thumbnail from URL png HDF5/NetCDF4 dataset Resource Type 2021-03-30 revision 4.4 DataCite Metadata Working Group orginator resourceTypeGeneral WRF > Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration Global Change Master Directory GCMD 2026-04-15 revision 23.7 NASA Global Change Master Directory orginator Valids List: Platforms EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC RADIATION > LONGWAVE RADIATION > DOWNWELLING LONGWAVE RADIATION EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC RADIATION > LONGWAVE RADIATION > UPWELLING LONGWAVE RADIATION EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC RADIATION > SHORTWAVE RADIATION > DOWNWELLING SHORTWAVE RADIATION EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC TEMPERATURE > SURFACE TEMPERATURE > AIR TEMPERATURE EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC WATER VAPOR > WATER VAPOR PROFILES > WATER VAPOR MIXING RATIO PROFILES EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC WINDS > SURFACE WINDS > U/V WIND COMPONENTS EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > PRECIPITATION > PRECIPITATION AMOUNT U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration Global Change Master Directory GCMD 2026-04-15 revision 23.7 NASA Global Change Master Directory orginator Valids List: Science and Services Keywords Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License None eng utf-8 climatologyMeteorologyAtmosphere 2002-10-01T0000+00 2012-10-01T0000+00 NSF NCAR Geoscience Data Exchange datahelp@ucar.edu https://gdex.ucar.edu distributor 62495497.107 https://gdex.ucar.edu/datasets/d010048/ https Dataset Description Related Link information https://gdex.ucar.edu/datasets/d010048/dataaccess/ https Data Access Related Link download none asNeeded
