======================================================================================== General information These data are extracted as DMI's contribution to the Baltic Earth effort on 'Scenario Analysis' (Matthias Gröger) and 'Coordinated Experiments' (Ha Hagemann) According to the initiative from Christian Dieterich & Matthias Gröger on joint paper on extreme sea levels, March 22, 2018. In addition, hourly model output in netcdf and atmospheric forcing on sea-grids are all available. Please feel free to contact me.

The forcing is from the EC-Earth CMIP5 simulations from 1960-2100, with two RCP 4.5& RCP 8.5 scenarios. The models (hindcast) was validated by Tian et al. (2013) in Tellus and the climate-downscaling was analysised by Tian et al, (2015) in Clim Dyn. ============================================================================================= Brief explanation about the files 1. elev${year}_co.tar.gz:: hourly 2D field in netcdf. unit: meter 2. wltmp${year}.tar.gz :: every 90 second water level at 43 water stations. unit: cm 3. wlstat_clim.dat :: index and coordinates of 43 water stations. 4. missingfile :: list of files, unfortunately lost from post-processing. ---------------------------------- 1. hourly 2D field in meter ---------------------------------- elev${year}_co.tar.gz stored in daily file, and then compressed as one year a file. daily file named as:elev${year}${mon}${day}00_co.nc F.ex. netcdf elev1988052100_co { dimensions: lon = 207 ; lat = 174 ; time = UNLIMITED ; // (24 currently) variables: float lon(lon) ; lon:units = "degree_east" ; float lat(lat) ; lat:units = "degree_north" ; float time(time) ; time:units = "hours since 1988-01-01 00:00:00 UTC" ; float elev(time, lat, lon) ; elev:units = "meter" ; elev:missing_value = 1.234e+37f ; -------------------------------------- 3.
