Comparison of meteorological observations and the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model output for summer 2020 at Davies Dome

The datasets contain air temperature, wind speed and wind direction observations from automatic weather stations (AWS) in the northern part of James Ross Island, Antarctic Peninsula with corresponding values simulated by the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. The investigation covers two periods: one in austral winter 2019 (25 May to 5 June 2019) and the second in austral summer 2020 (5–20 January 2020). For both periods, observations from five (air temperature) and two (wind characteristics) AWS are provided together with the WRF model results utilizing three different boundary layer schemes. Data allows validation of model performance in a complex partly-glaciated terrain of the northern part of James Ross Island. The model was run in high horizontal resolution (700 m) and was forced by the ERA5 atmospheric reanalysis and the University in Bremen sea ice data. Further details on model configuration can be found in the Matějka et al. (2021) paper, doi: https://doi.org/10.3390/atmos12030360.本数据集收录了南极半岛詹姆斯罗斯岛北部地区自动气象站（AWS）观测得到的气温、风速与风向数据，以及由天气研究与预报（WRF）模型模拟的对应数值。本数据集涵盖两个观测时段：其一为2019年南半球冬季（2019年5月25日至6月5日），其二为2020年南半球夏季（2020年1月5日至20日）。两个时段均提供了5套（气温观测用）与2套（风场特征观测用）自动气象站数据，同时附带采用3种不同边界层参数化方案的WRF模型模拟结果。本数据集可用于验证WRF模型在詹姆斯罗斯岛北部复杂部分冰川覆盖地形中的模拟性能。该模式采用700米的高水平分辨率运行，其强迫场由ERA5大气再分析资料与不来梅大学海冰数据驱动。有关模式配置的更多细节可参阅Matějka等（2021）发表的论文，DOI：https://doi.org/10.3390/atmos12030360。
