Meteorological Model MESAN (AROME) — Real-time Analysis Data

Description

DESCRIPTION This dataset contains real-time analysis data from the last two runs of the MESAN analysis model. The model runs every hour and uses data from the AROME model. Each file contains all parameters for the entire geographical area and the ground level. Data will be available from December 2014. Before that, the corresponding data was delivered by MESAN (HIRLAM). Mesan is a meteorological analysis model that describes the current weather conditions in grid panes. Every hour of the day, a two-dimensional mapping of common weather parameters is made. Which ones vary slightly over the day. In essence, the meteorological conditions include temperature, precipitation, clouds, visibility, humidity, wind and snow. The analysis is carried out over an area covering Scandinavia, the northern part of the continent and the Baltic States. DELIVERY In this service you can download files with real-time data via web service at delivery fee. The files shall be saved before further use. Send an e-mail to kundtjanst@smhi.se for order. COORDINATES Coordinates of the area are given by the corners: southwest 52.4N, 2.0 W Northwest 71.5N, 9.5 W northeast 71.2N, 39.7E southeast 52.3N, 27.8E The grid panes are 2.5 * 2.5 km. USE Mesan data is used at SMHI to make weather maps that the meteorologist has as a basis for forecasting operations. In the absence of observations, analysed values may sometimes replace them. Mesan data is also used as input to other models, e.g. to calculate run-off in our watercourses or to map the risk of fires in forests and land. FORMAT Data is delivered in GRIB format. Information that facilitates use can be found at: https://www.smhi.se/data/oppna-data/grib-format-1.30761
