Unsteady Land-Sea Breeze Circulations with Synoptic Forcing, 80km Domain

Numerical simulation data of unsteady land-sea breeze circulations under varying synoptic pressure forcing, as described by Allouche et al. (2023). The dataset contains results from simulations with a domain size of 80 km by 5 km by 1.6 km and a numerical mesh of 384 by 24 by 64 points. Data is provided in NetCDF format for download and analysis.

Use Cases

• Validate numerical weather prediction models based on simulated pressure forcing scenarios (Mg values of 0, 0.4, 1.2, 2 m/s).
• Analyze transient atmospheric circulation patterns based on the described unsteady state simulations.
• Study vertical atmospheric structure based on the described plotting levels for variables on 'c_s nodes' and 'w nodes'.
• Benchmark computational fluid dynamics codes against simulations with a defined 80km x 5km x 1.6km domain.

Strengths

• Simulations are based on a defined and sizable numerical domain of 80 km by 5 km by 1.6 km.
• Mesh resolution is explicitly stated as 384 by 24 by 64 grid points.
• Data is associated with a peer-reviewed publication (Allouche et al., 2023), providing academic context.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for specific ML tasks.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
