Project: High-resolution Climate Data for a High-altitude Region in Southern Spain: Sierra Nevada - Climate data at very-high resolution (1 km spatial resolution) for Sierra Nevada, the highest mountain region in the Iberian Peninsula located in southeastern Andalusia (Spain) https://smartecomountains.lifewatch.dev/. The use of very high resolution simulations allows a more adequate characterisation of the climate in regions with complex orography such as the Sierra Nevada, since at this resolution the convection is resolved by the model and is not parameterised. Summary: Climate data at very-high resolution (1 km spatial resolution) for Sierra Nevada, the highest mountain region in the Iberian Peninsula located in southeastern Andalusia (Spain). Data obtained using the Weather Research & Forecasting (WRF) model v4.3.3 (Skamarock et al., 2021) driven by the ERA5 reanalysis (Hersbach et al., 2018). The PBL was fixed to the Asymmetric Convective Model version 2 (ACM2, Pleim, 2007). Both, long- and short-wave radiation were parametrized using the Community Atmosphere Model 3.0 (CAM3.0, Collins et al., 2004). The microphysics scheme was the WRF single-moment 7-class (WSM7, Bae et al., 2019), and the land surface model the NOAH MP (Niu et al., 2011). The convection scheme was deactivated.
