Dataset
UK 1.5km NWP met data for Met Office NAME dispersion model (Mk3: Feb 2015 - Jul 2017)
Abstract
This dataset contains Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) met data produced by the operational UKV (United Kingdom Variable-resolution) configuration of the Met Office Unified Model. The files in the dataset have been processed into a form suitable for use in the Met Office NAME (Numerical Atmospheric-dispersion Modelling Environment) dispersion model, although this dataset may also be of wider use to the academic community as a source of high-resolution gridded NWP met data for the UK area.
The files contain a basic collection of model-level fields (3-d winds, temperature, etc.) and a selection of single-level fields including mean sea level pressure, cloud and precipitation from the inner, fixed-resolution domain of the UKV model (this covers the UK area at a spatial resolution of 1.5 km). The UKV model uses a rotated-pole coordinate system. Fields are split into various geographical regions (referred to as "parts" or "PTs" in NAME) with separate files for each "part". Data are provided at hourly resolution for the period Feb 2015 - Jul 2017. All files are in packed PP format.

| Access rules: |
Public data: access to these data is available to both registered and non-registered users.
Use of these data is covered by the following licence(s): http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/ When using these data you must cite them correctly using the citation given on the CEDA Data Catalogue record. |
| Data lineage: |
The underlying NWP data is produced by the operational UKV configuration of the Met Office's Unified Model. The fields are then processed into PP format for use in NAME. Both of these tasks run as part of the Met Office's Operational Suite. The files are then archived into the Met Office's storage system, MASS. Files are then retrieved on the CEDA side using the JASMIN MASS client. |
| Data Quality: |
These data are produced to operational standards at the Met Office.
