24-25 June 2003 FULLDISK Simulation


Description:  Simulated atmospheric fields were generated using version 2.1 of the WRF model (ARW core).  The simulation was initialized at 00 UTC 24 June 2003 with 1° GFS data and then run for 30 hours on a single 1580 x 1830 grid point domain with 8-km horizontal resolution and 50 vertical sigma levels.  The simulation employed the following parameterizations:
  • WRF single-moment 6-class (WSM6) microphysics
  • Yonsei University (YSU) planetary boundary layer
  • RRTM/Dudhia radiation
  • NOAH land-surface model
  • Explicit convection (i.e. no cumulus parameterization)
Current Datasets:  One dataset has been generated for this case.  The data are stored in IDV-viewable netcdf files with the standard GIFTS cube format (i.e. 128 x 128 grid points on the 101 AIRS pressure levels).

Dataset 1:  Data with 8-km horizontal resolution is available every 40 minutes from 06 UTC on 24 June until 06 UTC on 25 June.  This dataset contains 12x14 GIFTS cubes for each output time for a total of 6216 cubes.  The total dataset size is 544 Gb.
