Selected WRF output for Langtang catchment, years 2011, 2012, 2013

<p>Includes selected variables for the Langtang&nbsp;catchment&nbsp;of the WRF run used in&nbsp;<em>Contrasting meteorological drivers of the glacier mass balance between the Karakoram and central Himalaya,&nbsp;</em>by PNJ Bonekamp, RJ de Kok, E Collier and WW Immerzeel.&nbsp;</p> <p>WRF version 3.8.1 is used for the simulations.&nbsp;The outer domain is forced with 6-hourly ERA-Interim data (0.75 o x0.75o), and grid analysis nudging is applied to the horizontal wind, water vapour mixing ratio&nbsp;and potential temperature fields in the highest 15 vertical levels. In all domains, the land cover dataset is updated&nbsp;using the climate change initiative dataset (CCI, Defourny et al. (2017)) of the European Space&nbsp;Agency (ESA), which has a spatial resolution of 300 m. The soil moisture, soil temperatures and skin temperatures is initialized with the GLDAS dataset&nbsp;(0.25x0.25, Rodell et al. 2004).</p> <p>Important parameter settings are:<br> - One way nesting<br> - Model top pressure<br> - Morrison microphysics<br> -YSU planetary boundary layer scheme wit topo_wind option=1<br> - Noah-MP scheme<br> -RRTGM radiation scheme<br> -MM5 Similarity Scheme<br> - Rayleigh damping at the top boundary<br> - Diffusion is calculated in physical space<br> <br> Included variables [unit&#39;]:<br> Time [hours from 1 December&nbsp;2010], total simulation time is till 1 January 2014.
