30-year WRF downscaling over California and Nevada United States (Version 1)

This dataset contains high-resolution WRF downscaling from 1990-12-01 to 2021-02-28 (hourly resolution). The horizontal domain has 1.5 km grid spacing covering the entire states of California and Nevada in the United States. Variables included are air temperature and relative humidity at 2 m and wind speed at 10 m above the ground. Bias correction has not been applied to Version 1.

wind_speed
Descriptor

Speed is the magnitude of velocity. Wind is defined as a two-dimensional (horizontal) air velocity vector, with no vertical component. (Vertical motion in the atmosphere has the standard name upward_air_velocity.) The wind speed is the magnitude of the wind velocity.[CF-Standard Name]; unit: m s-1
