Daily statistics of UTCI and MRT during 1981-2012 at gridded 2-km resolution for Ireland and the UK derived from WRF-3DVar-ERA5 regional reanalysis

This archive contains certain daily statistics of UTCI and MRT for the Ireland and UK domain during 1981 - 2012 at 2-km spatial resolution. The dataset is calculated from outputs of WRF-3DVar atmospheric reanalysis driven by ERA5.

Further information about dataset is given in the manuscript "UTCI and MRT for Ireland and the UK at 2km resolution derived from WRF-3DVar-ERA5 regional reanalysis" by MP King, P Nolan, A Rahul, J Clarke, L Heaphy, R McGrath, and P Nolan (2026).

There are 6 separate tar files in this archive:

mrt_daymean_1981-2012.dir.tar

mrt_daymax_1981-2012.dir.tar

mrt_daymin_1981-2012.dir.tar

utci_daymean_1981-2012.dir.tar

utci_daymax_1981-2012.dir.tar

utci_daymin_1981-2012.dir.tar

The tar file names indicate the nc files contain within - MRT or UTCI; and daily mean, daily maximum or daily minimum.

The nc files in each tar file folder (dir) are given in year by year. For example, this is the file name of daily mean MRT for 1981 provided in mrt_daymean_1981-2021.dir.tar:

mrt_daymean_IRLUK-02km_ECMWF-ERA5_reanalysis_ICHEC-WRF3DVar_day_19810101-19811231.nc

The corresponding mrt nc files for the years 1982, 1983, ..., 2012 are found in the same tar file.

All files in the other tar files are named and organised similarly.
