A High Resolution (3km) Reanalysis Database for Mediterranean Coastal Winds Downscaled from ERA5, using the WRF Model

<p>A high resolution (3km) reanalysis database of Mediterranean coastal winds was constructed to support a research on potential sailing mobility in Antiquity. The database was created by downscaling the ERA5 reanalysis database using the WRF numerical prediction model.</p> <p>A detailed description of the reanalysis database is provided in the attached PDF file. The database format is GRIB version 2 and the total volume of the data files is 435GB. The GRIB files are hosted at <a href="https://coastalwinds.haifa.ac.il">https://coastalwinds.haifa.ac.il</a> as their total volume exceeds the volume that could be provided by Zenodo. Required files can therefore be downloaded from this location.</p> <p><strong>Link to the GRIB data files and index&nbsp; map:</strong></p> <p><strong><a href="https://coastalwinds.haifa.ac.il">https://coastalwinds.haifa.ac.il</a></strong></p> <p><strong>Acknowledgements:</strong></p> <p>The Data Science Research Center (DSRC) at Haifa University kindly provided funding towards the creation of this data set.</p>
