Dataset used for "Exploring the ability of the variable-resolution CESM to simulate cryospheric-hydrological variables in High Mountain Asia"

<strong>General Info</strong> This dataset contains monthly output from two 20-year (1979-1998) variable-resolution (VR) CESM2 simulations (HMA_VR7a and HMA_VR7b). The coupled atmosphere-land simulations were run with a newly generated VR grid that has regional grid refinements up to 7 km over High Mountain Asia. The HMA_VR7b simulation was performed with an updated glacier-cover dataset (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7864689) and includes snow and glacier model modifications. Further, monthly output from a globally uniform 1-degree CESM simulation (NE30), used for evaluation of the HMA VR simulations, is also included. The monthly output have been used for analysis and discussion in the paper “<em>Exploring the ability of the variable-resolution CESM to simulate cryospheric-hydrological variables in High Mountain Asia” </em>that is currently under review in the Cryosphere Discussions, https://tc.copernicus.org/preprints/tc-2022-256/. <strong>Contact</strong> René Wijngaard ([e-mail] / [e-mail]) <strong>Raw Data</strong> Raw monthly and daily unstructured HMA VR model output are available on request. <strong>Dataset Contents</strong> <pre><code>NE30.tar HMA_VR7a.tar HMA_VR7b.tar </code></pre> These files contain atmosphere (CAM) and land (CLM) model output that are regridded to a 1-degree finite volume (0.9 x 1.25 degrees latitude/longitude) grid.
