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 and subsetting).
