Datasets and model outputs used for validating WASP for SURFEX v8.0

These datasets contain the model outputs used for validating the WASP SURFEX v8.0 parameterization of turbulent fluxes at sea. The file LION_BUOY.tar contains (ascii format) the tubrulent fluxes computed from the surface parameters recorded at the Météo-France LION buoy (in the centre of the Gulf of Lion, NW Mediterranean Sea) at an hourly frequency between 2001 and 2014, using the bulk softwares COARE 3.0 with various wave representation and WASP with waves. The file AROME_MED.tar contains the outputs of the AROME operational model with ECUME or WASP representation of the turbulent fluxes, on the case study of October 2016, that were used to validate the parameterization as presented in the paper. The file AROME_OI.tar contains the outputs of AROME OI on the case of the tropical cyclone Batsirai in the Indian Ocean, in February 2022. The file ARPEGE_CLIM_AMIP contains the outputs of the low-resolution, AMIP runs performed using the ECUME and WASP parameterization.
