Abstract

A selection of atmospheric weather model parameters. It concerns near surface and boundary layer parameters of UWC-West HARMONIE model (most recent cycle), for the Dutch domain. For this weather forecast model KNMI works closely with Iceland, Denmark and Ireland on local short-term weather forecasts under the name "United Weather Centres-West" (UWC-West). An international project team is working on a joint Numerical Weather Prediction model (NWP), procurement and management of the HPC (supercomputer) and infrastructure. The set consists of NetCDF format files (one file for each parameter) of for example wind, temperature and precipitation parameters. The output parameter 'wet bulb globe temperature' is experimental, please be aware that it may undergo changes or be discontinued at any time without prior notice. The forecast time resolution is 1 hour, with a forecast horizon of 60 hours. The resolution of the grid is 2km x 2km. The files are updated every hour.
