Gridded NORA3 data: automated and remote data extraction
Gridded NORA3 data: automated and remote data extraction
Summary
The NORA3 atmosphere hindcast data are remotely accessed using the OPeNDAP framework and the THREDDS Data Server of the Norwegian Meteorological Institute [1]. If the data are extracted for multiple latitudes and longitudes, the data are stored in a gridded format. The atmospheric data are retrieved for seven different heights, from 10 m to 750 m above the surface. The mean wind speed profile can be interpolated using a non-linear scheme based on the Deaves and Harris model [2,3]. Above the ocean, the sea roughness is modelled using the Charnock relation. A summary of the NORA3 data and their potential is available in [4]. This code was used to extract the data used in [5].
Content
The present submission contains
- getNORA3.m: A function that imports the NORA3 hindcast from [1]
- getz0_charnock.m: A function that estimates the roughness of the sea surface using Charnock's equation and the logarithmic profile of the mean wind speed.
- interpU.m: A function that interpolates the mean wind speed using The Deaves and Harris model [2,3]
- world.mat: A data file that contains the coastline of countries (used for visualization purpose only)
- Documentation.mlx: A Matlab LiveScript that illustrates how these functions can be used
Any comment, question or suggestion is welcome
