Description
Summary:CRCM-CMIP Ouranos : Canadian Regional Climate Model – version 5 Martynov et al. 2013, Separovic et al. 2013 Based on GEM 3.3.3.1 Configuration NAM-11 CORDEX North American domain at 0.11° 695x668 grid points including a 20-point sponge (and halo) zone surrounding the domain, 5-minute time steps, xlat1=28.525 xlon2=145.955. 56 vertical levels and a top at 10 hPa. 17 surface levels and a bottom at 15 m. Spectral Nudging A spectral nudging is applied to the horizontal wind component with a half-response wavelength of 1177km and a relaxation time of 13.34 h. The nudging strength is set to zero from the surface to a height of 500 hPa and increases linearly onward to the top of the model's simulated atmosphere (10 hPa) Parameterization Atmosphere Precipitation: modified Sundqvist (1998); precipitation partition Bourgouin (2000) Implicit vertical diffusion. Shallow convection: Kuo (1965) transient shallow, Non‐cloudy boundary layer formulation. Deep convection: Kain-Fritsch (1990); Radiation: Li & Barker (2005) Surface CLASS3.5c (Verseghy, 1993) Lake model: FLake Ocean Prescribed SST & sea ice fraction Aerosols Prescribed Data Access Due to its large size, the full dataset can't yet be shared publicly. A subset of the variables are stored on Ouranos' THREDDS server.

Acknowlegments Developed by the ESCER Centre at UQAM (Université du Québec à Montréal) with the collaboration of Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC). CRCM5; Martynov et al. 2013, Separovic et al. 2013 The CRCM5 data has been generated and supplied by Ouranos. CRCM5 computations were made on the supercomputers beluga and narval managed by Calcul Québec and the Digital Research Alliance of Canada . The ...
