Documentation:

• rights: Freely available
• CARICOOS WRF Model
• summary: Best time series, taking the data from the most recent run available.
• summary: Best available dataset for averages.
• summary: The CARICOOS Weather Research Forecast (WRF) model consists of a high horizontal resolution of 1 km with 45 vertical levels and is based on the WRF Nonhydrostatic Mesoscale Model (NMM) core. WRF-NMM was developed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP). The model is run daily for cycle 00Z to produce a forecast length of 72 hours. Boundary and initials conditions are provided by the Global Forecast System (GFS) and Sea Surface Temperature (SST) from NASA Short-term Prediction Research and Transition Center (SPoRT).
• funding: The Caribbean Coastal Ocean Observing System (CARICOOS), funded through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), is a Regional Association within the U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS).

Variables:

• Vocabulary [CF-1.6]:
  • lat (degrees_north) = Latitude = latitude
  • lon (degrees_east) = Longitude = longitude
  • U10 (meter per seconds) = U component of wind at 10 meters = U10
  • V10 (meter per seconds) = V component of wind at 10 meters = V10
  • U (meter per seconds) = U component of wind = U
  • V (meter per seconds) = V component of wind = V
  • RH02 (dimesionless) = Relative Humidity = RH02
  • SST (Kelvins) = Sea Surface Temperature = SST
