Ten ensembles with hourly high spatial resolution datasets for severe precipitation events in Egypt
In this article, we created a new dataset comprising 10 ensembles for severe rainfall simulations at a high spatial resolution (10 km grid spacing, 120 × 120 grid points) in Egypt using the Weather Research and Forecast model Version 3.8 (WRF 3.8). The vertical grid had over 41 levels, extending fro...

| description | In this article, we created a new dataset comprising 10 ensembles for severe rainfall simulations at a high spatial resolution (10 km grid spacing, 120 × 120 grid points) in Egypt using the Weather Research and Forecast model Version 3.8 (WRF 3.8). The vertical grid had over 41 levels, extending from the surface to 10 hPa. The defined domain, a Lambert conformal conic projection, started from 24°E to 36°E. The ensembles were generated using 10 different microphysics schemes within the WRF 3.8. The severe rainfall event occurred between October 26 and 29, 2016. Final analysis data from National Center for Environmental Predictions were used for the initial and boundary conditions every 6 h at a spatial resolution of 1° × 1°. The geographical static input data, such as land use, albedo, and terrain height, were interpolated and prepared using a geogrid program in the WRF preprocessing system. This dataset is the first of its kind. It is addressing a need for this type of high resolution data over Egypt using physically- based numerical weather prediction models. |
