Hey guys,
I am interested in downscaling some of the CESM2 CMIP6 output with WRFV4. The current available information in ESGS website does not include 3D air temperature and geopotential height field, neither the SSTs in synoptic time-scale (these variables are only available at daily time-scale) and some surface fields necessary to initialize WRF such as eastward and northward near-surface winds are not available.
The 3D field of the geopotential height and air temperature can change during the day. In your experience: do you think it is adequate to use the boundary condition for WRF given by these variables at daily time-scale? If not, would it generate many inaccuracies? Additionally, I would like to know if there are other websites in which I can find this data at synoptic scale (i.e. 6 hourly or less).
In the case of surface fields to initialize WRF, some of them are not available (for example: eastward and northward near-surface winds). Any suggestions on how to prepare surface winds for WRF from the current CESM2 output at ESGS?
Thank you
