Entry ID: BOLAMCASESTUDYLOWRES

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: Meteorological fields produced by numerical integration of a Limited Area Model
(BOLAM) with initial and boundary conditions from ECMWF initialised analysis.

2-D Fields: Orography, Sea Level Pressure, Cumulated Precipitation, Wind at 10
m Above Ground Level, Temperature at 2 m AGL, Wind at 2 m AGL, Ground Water
Content, Latent and sensible heat fluxes at the ground; 3-D Fields:
Geopotential, Temperature, Horizontal Wind, Specific Humidity, Relative
Humidity on pressure levels from 1000 to 50 hPa, every 50 hPa. Fields available
every hour from 31 Dec 1994 00 UTC to 02 Jan 1995 12 UTC. Spatial Coverage:
Square (Cartesian) Area 2000x2000 km centered at 74.5 S 163.0 E, resolution 16
km. Same fields, and other diagnostics, retrievable on model sigma levels.
