Summary This dataset contains high resolution (15 kilometers (km), 3 hours (h)) output from Polar Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) driven by European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) Re-Analysis (ERA), Jun-Jul-Aug, 1986-2015. These simulations used the Greenland Ice Mapping Project (GIMP) 90 meters (m) digital elevation model (DEM) from The Ohio State University (Howat et al 2014) for ice sheet topography and the Bootstrap Sea Ice dataset (NSIDC-0079). Details These datasets are output from the regional forecast model Polar WRF (i.e., WRF-Advanced Research WRF (ARW) with polar modifications developed by the Polar Meteorology Group at The Ohio State University; Hines and Bromwich 2008; Skamarock et al 2008). Datasets are available as both original model output and as post-processed output, i.e, model output that has been processed into more user-friendly format with an National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Command Language (NCL) script. Post-processed files are also smaller after ...
