Abstract

This dataset archives the SNACS Polar MM5 atmospheric model code and settings for the 50km simulations. If you uncompress and then untar the file, you'll have a directory called MM5 which will contain all of the source code and four configuration files. Data generated by the model includes: date (yyyy-mm-dd in *_avg.txt file and yyyy-mm-dd_hh in *_3h.txt file) (UTC) psfc - surface pressure (mb) slp - sea level pressure (mb) tg - ground temperature (K) t2m - 2m air temperature (K) q2m - 2m water vapor mixing ratio (kg/kg) ws10 - 10m wind speed (m/s) wd - 10m wind direction (deg) ust - friction velocity, u* (m/s) lhf - latent heat flux (W/m^2) shf - sensible heat flux (W/m^2) grnf - ground heat flux (W/m^2) swd - downwelling shortwave radiation at surface (W/m^2) swu - upwelling shortwave radiation at surface (W/m^2) alb - albedo (fraction) lwd - downwelling longwave radiation at surface (W/m^2) lwu - upwelling longwave radiation at surface (W/m^2) p3h - accumulated precipitation (24h in *_avg.txt file and 3h in *_3h.txt file) (cm) swe - snow water equivalent (mm) cld_frac - cloud fraction (fraction)
