RACMO2.3p3 monthly SMB, SEB and t2m data for Antarctica (1979-2018)

This data set includes RACMO2.3p3 (Rp3) data for Antarctica for various model settings at 27 km resolution. Netcdf files are available for the Greenland settings (GRL), fresh snow grain size settings (FSG), fresh dry snow metamorphism experiment (FSM), refreezing grain size experiment (RFG) and the control experiment (CON), including all changes, as is described in the manuscript 'Impact of radiation penetration on Antarctic surface melt and subsurface snow temperatures in RACMO2.3p3'.

Monthly-accumulated (monthlyS) and monthly-averaged (monthlyA) data are available for the surface mass balance (SMB) and 2 m air temperature (t2m) for all experiments and surface energy balance (SEB) for GRL and CON. The data includes the following parameters: snow melt, refreezing, runoff, sublimation (subl), precipitation (precip), surface mass balance (smb), drifting snow erosion (sndiv), sensible heat flux (senf), latent heat flux (latf), shortwave downward radiation (swsd), shortwave upward radiation (swsu), longwave downward radiation (lwsd) and longwave upward radiation (lwsu) / net longwave radiation (lwsn). All output is available between 1979-2018 for GRL and CON; and between 1979-1990 for FSG, FSM and RFG.
