NorESM2-LM Model Output

A dataset containing climate model outputs from the NorESM2-LM model. This dataset includes atmospheric and surface variables across longitude, latitude, and vertical levels.

Usage

NorESM2_LM

Format

A list with 13 elements:

hus

array: Specific humidity (kg/kg) with dimensions [lon, lat, lev, time].

ta

array: Air temperature (K) with dimensions [lon, lat, lev, time].

ua

array: Zonal wind speed (m/s) with dimensions [lon, lat, lev, time].

va

array: Meridional wind speed (m/s) with dimensions [lon, lat, lev, time].

ps

array: Surface pressure (Pa) with dimensions [lon, lat, time].

orog

array: Surface elevation (orography) (m) with dimensions [lon, lat].

lon

vector: Longitudes [lon] (degrees east).

lat

vector: Latitudes [lat] (degrees north).

a

vector: Vertical coordinate formula term: a(k) [lev].

b

vector: Vertical coordinate formula term: b(k) [lev].

a_bnds

vector: Vertical coordinate formula term: a(k+1/2) [lev+1].

b_bnds

vector: Vertical coordinate formula term: b(k+1/2) [lev+1].

p0

vector: reference pressure.

time

PCICt: Time with attributes for calendar, months, days per year, and time zone.

Note

NorESM2-LM data is on hybrid sigma pressure coordinate.
