Data Identification

Abstract: The Regional Deterministic Reforecast System (RDRS) data was provided by Environment and Climate Change Canada Canadian Meteorological Center. Five years of data have been provided at an hourly timestep covering North America and parts of Central America Variables include: precipitation rate, air temperature, incoming shortwave radiation, incoming long wave radiation, longwave radiation, atmospheric pressure, specific humidity, wind components (along grid X/Y), corrected wind component (along W-E/S-N direct.), wind speed, and wind direction. More details about this dataset can be found at https://www2.meteo.uni-bonn.de/isrr/slides/ISRR2018_Slides06_Gasset.pdf. The data is limited to a rotated latitude-longitude uniform grid with about 15 km horizontal resolution that covers whole North America and the Arctic Ocean. The region of interest (Great Lakes) was cropped. All files of the RDRS dataset were merged to one single file which contains the study domain and all hourly timesteps of the 5 years, i.e. 2010-01-01 12:00 to 2015-01-01 12:00 NetCDF. Researchers interested in this data can email Juliane Mai (University of Waterloo; juliane.mai@uwaterloo.ca)
Purpose: The Great Lakes Runoff Inter-comparison Project (GRIP) includes a wide range of lumped and distributed models that are used operationally and/or for research purposes across Canada and the United States. Participating models are Global Environmental Multi-scale (GEM- Hydro), Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF-Hydro), MEC-Surface & Hydrology (MESH), Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC), WATFLOOD, HYdrological Predictions for the Environment (HYPE), Soil & Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) and Large Basin Runoff Model (LBRM) The project aims to run all these models over several regions in Canada with Great Lakes, focusing on Lake Erie and Lake St.Clair as the initial domain (GRIP-E). This project will also focus on identifying a standard, consistent dataset for model building that all participants in the inter-comparison project can access and then process to generate their model-specific required inputs. This data set is collected for the project titled "Integrated Modelling Program for Canada (IMPC): Theme 1", which is a Pillar 3 project under the Global Water Futures Program funded by Canada First Research Excellence Fund.
