[NARCCAP-discuss] HRM3 3D wind lat/lon & Various Data Issues

[Jonas Roberts]

Good Day,

I was wondering if there were similar files to HRM3_lat.txt and
HRM3_lon.txt available for (the staggered grid) 3D wind variables? I
was hoping to use these for my own grid interpolation.

On a different note, I found a few errors in some of the data files
that I've been using that I thought you should be made aware of (I
re-downloaded some of them with no change):

WRFG-cgcm3:
- 2061 and 2066 files seem to be bad for prw, mrro, mrros, mrso and
swe (in addition to every 5th year of data missing, which is known).
- the last valid data point for current period mrro & mrros is
18z17jan1996, after which the data is bad.

CRCM-cgcm3:
- from the beginning of the 2051 file onward ua_p950 appears to be bad.

HRM3-hadcm3:
- hus, ua, va 3D variables for the future period are listed as
available (here: http://www.narccap.ucar.edu/data/status.html) but
future Table 5 values are not available for download from ESG (here:
http://www.earthsystemgrid.org/dataset/narccap.hrm3.output.hadcm3.html)

MM5I-ccsm:
- current period 3D variable (Table 5) files are not available for
p050, p1025 or p1050.

Al the best,
