AEROCLO-sA three-dimensional air mass back-trajectories for the ground-based site of Henties Bay - 3 km horizontal resolution

Three-dimensional air mass back-trajectories calculated using the NOAA HYbrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory Model (HYSPLIT; Draxler and Rolph, 2015). The model uses the Weather and Research Forecasting (WRF 3.7, Skamarock et al., 2008) simulations at 50, 9 and a nested simulation at 3 km of horizontal resolution. The global meteorological analyses from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) with the GlobalForecast System (GFS) products are used to nudge WRF hourly with pressure, temperature, humidity and wind. To preserve large scale circulations and small scale variability, the ’spectral nudging’ technique was applied (Von Storch et al., 2000).<br />
