3-hourly meteorological forcing data for land surface modeling for the Yellow River Basin and North China

The gridded domain encompasses the entirety of the Yellow River Basin (YRB) and consists of 350 columns and 170 rows, featuring a resolution of 6 km in Lambert conformal conic projection coordinates. the detailed information on the domain can be found in the "wrfinput_d02_USGS", a netcdf file.3-hourly meteorological forcing dataset comprising of shortwave and longwave downward radiation, wind velocity, air temperature, relative humidity, air pressure at the surface, and precipitation rate was acquired. The dataset was extracted from the 1.0˚×1.0˚ GLDAS-1 land surface product (Rodell et al., 2004).
