CCLM Southern Africa historical simulation

Tim, Nele et al.

Dataset
Summary
Historical simulation with the regional atmospheric model CCLM (COSMO model in CLimate Mode, model version 5.0 clm10). Driven by global climate simulations with the coupled model FOCI (model version 1.14), with interactive ozone chemistry. The FOCI model includes a coupled ocean component (NEMO), configured at a high spatial resolution of 0.1° around Southern Africa, allowing explicit representation of key features of the Agulhas Current System.
Variables: precipitation, PMSL, u and v 10m wind, 500hPa Temperature
