WRFV3.5.1 model configuration for West Africa is the same as Klein et al. 2015.
File naming convention: waXXclmN_model_scenario_variable_YYYY.nc for resolution XX in km and for all streams.
Example 12km resolution: wa12clmN_gfdlesm_hist_va_1980.nc
The landmask file is time independent. Land binary mask (1 for land, 0 for water) from WRFv3.5.1 simulations forced with GFDL-ESM2M at 12km resolution.
File name is wa12clmN_gfdlesm_hist_sftlf_1989-01.nc

- Statement
- The model simulations starts in 1979 and run for 32 years at 3 hourly time step.Therefore, the monthly mean of atmospheric northward wind were extracted for the purpose of distribution. The first year of all simulations was discarded as model spin-up while the last 30 to 31 years were made available for further analysis.
