Overview
This High Mountain Asia (HMA) data set contains simulated meteorological data for the Indus Basin from 2000 through 2015, at three horizontal resolutions – 36 km, 12 km, and 4 km – and 9 pressure levels spanning 1000 hPa – 200 hPa. The data were produced by using the Advanced Research Weather Research & Forecasting (ARW-WRF) model to dynamically downscale Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR) data into three nested domains with increasing horizontal resolution.
