This experiment contains sensitivity test results (Ferner et al. 2023) of 11 simulations with the microscale, obstacle-resolving model MITRAS v 3.1 (Salim et al., 2018; Schluenzen et al., 2018) for a domain of 1.6 x 1.8 km² around Hamburg City Hall in Hamburg. The domain contains various street configurations, open spaces, water surfaces, orography and building heights. The simulations were performed with different initial wind speeds, rain amounts, wind directions, and domain configurations. The simulations cover 1:40 hours, starting at 7:30 LST (LST refers to Local Solar Time), with a temporal resolution of 10, 1 or 5 minutes. This experiment contains a selection of output variables, control variables are not included.
The file names of the data sets are composed as follows.
{precipitation}_{intensity}_{windspeed}_ {intensity}_{winddirection}_{value}_{case ID}.nc
There are 3 intensities: low, medium, high
Associated values are these:
pr_low = 0.5 mm, pr_medium =0.9 mm, pr_high = 1.7 mm (after 10 minutes)
ff_low = 2 m/s, ff_medium = 4 m/s, ff_high = 4 m/s
