Downscaling ERA-5 reanalysis data for coastal climate applications (and evaluation of uncertainty of coastal data)
Here's the abstract and the link to the oral presentation I gave this morning at the 5th International Conference on Reanalysys held in Rome, 13-17 November 2017 in the outstanding venue of Angelicum University located in the very centre of Rome. Downscaling ERA-5 reanalysis data for coastal climate applications (and evaluation of uncertainty of coastal data) : The management of coastal zones requires precise data concerning past wind/wave regimes and future climate trends. Many studies have been based on low resolution reanalysis data that cannot allow a detailed description of the variability induced by local conditions. We present a feasibility study where a simple dynamical downscaling of ERA5 reanalysis data is applied through a cascade of regional atmospheric/wave models. A long-term goal of this study is to identify the long-term trends in the last 30-35 years in order to better understand the effects linked to the impact of climate change along the coast. The methodology ...
How to run the WRF model using ERA5 (on model levels) as initial and boundary conditions
This procedure was tested with the WRF model Version 3.8.* and ERA5 data. 1. ERA5 data were downloaded as described in How+to+download+ERA5+data+via+the+ECMWF+Web+API Here I'm attaching a sample script (launched on ecgate) to download surface data: # General settings Nort='90.0' West='-90.0' Sout='0.0' East='90.0' resX='0.25' resY='0.25' initdate='2012-11-01' paralist='msl/skt/2t/10u/10v/2d/z/lsm/sst/ci/sd/stl1/stl2/stl3/stl4/swvl1/swvl2/swvl3/swvl4' timelist='00:00:00/01:00:00/02:00:00/03:00:00/04:00:00/05:00:00/06:00:00/07:00:00/08:00:00/09:00:00/10:00:00/11:00:00/12:00:00/13:00:00/14:00:00/15:00:00/16:00:00/17:00:00/18:00:00/19:00:00/20:00:00/21:00:00/22 :00:00/23:00:00' gribfile='ERA5_sfc_'${initdate} mars <<EOF retrieve, class=ea, dataset=era5, date=${initdate}, expver=1, levtype=sfc, param=${paralist}, stream=oper, time=${t...
