DATASET OVERVIEW

Abstract

The Laboratory of Meteorology, Institute for Space-Earth Environmental Research, Nagoya University, has been performing daily high-resolution weather simulations using the cloud resolving storm model CReSS (Cloud Resolving Storm Simulator). To demonstrate how well the current model can simulate real-world weather, the results of the simulations are mainly intended for experts. This dataset is the original data from that simulation, shown on the Web page "CReSS Daily Simulation".

The area of calcuration is about 2300km by 2800km, surrounding Japan, with about 2km grid size. The map projection method is the Lambert Conformal Conic.

The actual simulations are performed prior to the actual time, but due to the limitations of the Meteorological Service Act, only results prior to the current time are made available to the public.

If you wish to use this data to conduct weather forecasting services in Japan, you must follow the appropriate procedures in accordance with the Meteorological Service Act. Please contact the Japan Meteorological Agency for more information on the law.

The simulations are calculated once a day for up to 36 hours ahead.

This dataset contains the following 17 three dimensional variables and 30 two dimensional variables, the former being output every three hours and the latter every hour.
