Moisture Recycling over the Iberian Peninsula

<p>These data are made available as part of paper: S. J. Gonzalez-Roji, J. Saenz, J. Diaz de Argandona,&nbsp;G. Ibarra-Berastegi&nbsp;(2020) &quot;Moisture recycling over the Iberian Peninsula. The impact of 3DVAR data assimilation&quot;, published in&nbsp;<em>Atmosphere </em>(<a href="https://doi.org/10.3390/atmos11010019">https://doi.org/10.3390/atmos11010019</a>). The dataset holds selected postprocessed files that allow to reproduce all the results in the paper.</p> <p>Two WRF experiments nested in ERA-Interim were prepared. The first one (N) was configured as in standard numerical downscaling experiments. The second one (D), with the same parameterizations, included a step of 3DVAR data assimilation every 6 hours. The original experiments covered period 2010-2014 after a year of spin-up (2019). However, D was extended until the end of 2018.&nbsp;</p> <p>The following monthly averaged (accumulated for rain) nc files are included:</p> <p>- Qx/Qy: Refer to the zonal and meridional vertically integrated&nbsp;moisture fluxes for the domain.&nbsp;</p> <p>- Rain: Include the accumulated convective and large-scale precipitation output from the model.&nbsp;</p> <p>- SMOIS: Contains the soil moisture of the model runs.</p> <p>- mask: Defines the area where the recycling ratio is calculated over the Iberian Peninsula.&nbsp;</p> <p>- Rho: Holds the recycling ratio at every grid point.&nbsp;</p> <p>The -N- or -D- characters in the file names indicate whether the files come from the WRF N or WRF D experiments.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
