Project: coastDat-1 - CoastDat (http://www.coastdat.de/about_us/index.php) comprises a compilaton of coastal analyses (that is hindcasts and reconstructions) and scenarios for the future obtained from numerical models. The objective is to provide a consistent meteorological-marine data set. Summary: This is an atmospheric hourly hindcast for Western Europe and the North Atlantic using REMO with spectral nudging from 1948-2007. The model uses a rotated grid with 81 x 91 grid points and a grid point distance of 0.5 degrees, the North pole is located at 170 W, 32.5 N. In rotated coordinates the model area extends from 19.5 W to 20.5 E, 25 S to 20 N, in geographical coordinates this corresponds to about 10.4 W to 70.7 E, 29.6 N to 67.8 N.
