Meteorological input files
Currently all meteorological input files are available on stallo. The input files are processed from different NWP models: Parlam-PS (old Hirlam version), Hirlam20 (Hirlam version 7.1.3), IFS, Hirham (Hirlam version) and are available on NetCDF format.
Hirlam
The EMEP-H20 dataset is made of Hirlam version 7.1.3 runs on extended EMEP area covering EECCA countries. A EMEP-H10 dataset is also made of Hirlam version 7.1.3 on a reduced EMEP area (covering central Europe) only for 2006! Rotated spherical coordinates (0.2×0.2^o~20x20km²) interpolated to polarstereographic coordinates (50x50km² or 25x25km²).
