High resolution (12km) WRF simulations of near-surface relative humidity and air temperature at 11°N, 3.04°W (WASCAL Project)

Weather Research and Forecasting Model version 3.5.1 (WRF) is forced by three global climate models (GCMs) under the Representative Concentrative Pathways 4.5 scenario (RCP 4.5). The forcing GCMs are: the Max Planck Institute Earth System Model (MPI-ESM-MR, Stevens et al. 2013), the General Fluid Dynamics Laboratory Earth System Model (GFDL-ESM2M, Dunne et al. 2012), and the Hadley Global Environment Model (HadGEM2-ES, Collins et al. 2011). 3-hourly time-steps of simulated near-surface air temperature and relative humidity at l1°N, 3.04°W were extracted and hereby presented.
