Kilometre-scale regional climate model simulations of two atmospheric river case studies in West Antarctica

Regional climate model simulations produced using the MetUM, HCLIM and Polar-WRF models at 1 km horizontal grid spacing. The data span two case studies in which an atmospheric river made landfall over the Amundsen Sea Embayment and Thwaites / Pine Island ice shelves. The first is a winter case (23-30 June 2020) and the second a summer case (3-9 February 2020).  Data are gridded, in native model coordinates, and saved as netcdf. Data produced by: HCLIM: José Abraham Torres MetUM: Ella Gilbert Polar-WRF: Denys Pishniak Data were produced to support the analysis presented in Gilbert et al. (2024) [preprint] . The research was funded by the PolarRES project, which is funded under the EU's Horizon 2020 programme call H2020-LC-CLA-2018-2019-2020 under grant agreement 101003590. MetUM simulations were performed on the ARCHER2 UK National Supercomputer.
