abstract

4km gridded downscaled ERA5 simulations conducted over the regions of Northwest and Southwest WA (each domain has two WRF simulations R3 and R5). The dataset release precedes the completion of the basic sanity checking process once the simulations have been completed. The Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) can be reliably calculated using the simulation outputs.

Notes to access the data server: 1. Avoid using $HOME directory as its limited space for large files and heavy data operations. 2. Utilise the “/data” (10TB) and “/data2” (135TB) drives for data storage and operations instead of $HOME. 3. Develop codes as git repositories and push them to GitHub or Bitbucket for version control and backup since no backups are maintained on the server. 4. Software availability: – R version 4.3.3 (2024-02-29) is already installed centrally. – For Python, use mamba package and install it under “/data” to prevent filling up $HOME. 5. Data locations: – Southwest WA domain: /data2/WA-CSI/ERA5/historical/r1i1p1f1 – Northwest WA domain: /data2/WA-CSI/ERA5_NWWA/historical/r1i1p1f1 6. Central installation includes utilities like ncview, ncdump, etc. CAUTIONS: installing R packages may default to $HOME; consider specifying installation paths under “/data” to avoid $HOME out of space.
