Scientific dataset for the manuscript "Implication of contrasting surface conditions on monsoonal heavy rainfall events over India"

<p>The observational and model simulated data for the Manuscript &quot;Implication of contrasting surface conditions on monsoonal heavy rainfall events over India&quot;, &nbsp;submitted to the Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology are shared here. The details of the dataset provided are as follows:&nbsp;</p> <p>i) IMD daily gridded rainfall (mm) for each heavy rainfall case.&nbsp;<br> ii) WRF&nbsp;simulated daily average values from Noah and SLAB experiments.&nbsp;<br> iii) 3-hourly time series of air temperature (K) and specific humidity (kg/kg) at 2m from AWS stations and from model simulations at respective observation locations. These datasets are provided for Case 1 and Case 2 only.&nbsp;<br> iv) Volumetric soil moisture (m3/m3) daily climatology (2001-2013) averaged&nbsp;over central India from ESA CCI, GLDAS, and LDAS.&nbsp;<br> v) &nbsp;The 3-hourly time series of Volumetric soil moisture (m3/m3) average and standard deviations over central India for the period May 15-18, 2013, June 22-25, 2013, and August 15-18, 2013. The average values from GLDAS soil moisture&nbsp;are&nbsp;provided. &nbsp;</p>
