Iberian Summer Surface Temperature and Fluxes for Energy Balance

<p>This dataset holds selected postprocessed files for surface temperature and fluxes involved in the surface energy balance.</p><p>Four WRF experiments nested in ERA-Interim were prepared. The first one (N) was configured as in standard numerical downscaling experiments using the Noah LSM. The second one (D), with the same parameterizations, included a step of 3DVAR data assimilation every 6 hours. The third and the fourth ones (S and C) are similar to N and D but use a diffusive soil scheme instead of NOAH LSM. The experiments covered the period 2010-2014 after a year of spin-up (2019).&nbsp;</p><p>The following 3-hourly files are included:</p><ul><li>Tsoil: soil temperature for the first 2 top levels of the surface.</li><li>T2: 2 metre temperature.&nbsp;</li><li>Latent: Latent heat flux.</li><li>Sensible: Sensible heat flux.</li><li>NetSW: net short-wave radiation flux at the surface.</li><li>NetLW: net long-wave radiation flux at the surface.</li><li>GRDFLX: ground flux toward lower layers of the soil.</li></ul><p>The <i>N, D, C or S </i>characters in the file names indicate whether the files come from the WRF N, D, C or S experiments. The files include a table including the 3-hourly data for each grid point over the Iberian Peninsula: year | month | day | hour | V1 | ... | V2058 &nbsp;</p><p>The 2058 grid points included in each file are listed in the same order as in the file WRFmask_points_withoutUrban_withLandType.dat&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
