IASI dataset v1
2020
The Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) on board the MetOp satellite series measures the infrared spectrum with high resolution. The ground footprint resolution of the instruments is 12 km at nadir, and a spectral resolution of 0.25cm −1 in the spectrum between 645 cm −1 and 2760 cm −1 . This results in 8461 spectral samples covering 2200km scan-swath with 60 points per line. IASI is an ideal instrument for monitoring different physical/chemical parameters in the atmosphere e.g. temperature, humidity and trace gases such as ozone. Energy from different altitudes returns a different spectral shift. In this way atmospheric profiles can be obtained and these provides important …
New European Wind Atlas: Mesoscale Atlas
2021
The mesoscale part of the New European Wind Atlas (NEWA) was created from WRF model simulations for all of Europe at a grid spacing of 3 km x 3 km, initially covering the 30 years from 1989 to 2018. The WRF model simulations (using WRF V3.8.1) were done in 10 partly overlapping domains using ERA5 reanalysis and OSTIA sea surface temperatures. We used many ensemble members to determine the most suitable configuration for the final production run. The model configuration, production and evaluation of the results against observations are described in Hahmann et al. (2020) and Dörenkämper et al. (2020).Data are accessible through doWIND, an instance of daTap (RESTfull API for data aggregation a…
New European Wind Atlas: Microscale Atlas
2021
Wind Atlas layers from the New European Wind Atlas (NEWA) microscale atlas. The atlas was made by downscaling the NEWA mesoscale wind atlas using the Wind Atlas Analysis and Application Program (WAsP) microscale model.Data are accessible through doWIND, an instance of daTap (RESTfull API for data aggregation and subsetting)
