Description
These data are both raw and postprocessed, collected using WRF (Skamarock et al., 2021) and cdo commands.
The configuration used to perform the WRF simulation consisted of two "one-way" domains. The initial domain (d01) encompassed the Iberian Peninsula with a spatial resolution of 5 km. The second domain (d02) includes Andalusia at a spatial resolution of 1 km.
This experiment (evaluation) was driven by the ERA5 reanalysis (Hersbach et al., 2018). PBL was set to the Asymmetric Convective Model version 2 (ACM2, Pleim, 2007). Both longwave and shortwave radiation were parameterized using the Community Atmosphere Model 3.0 (CAM3.0, Collins et al., 2004). WRF single-moment 7-class (WSM7, Bae et al., 2019) was used as the microphysics scheme and the NOAH MP (Niu et al., 2011) as the land surface model. The convection was disabled.
