YOPP supersites

Meteo-France has extracted ARPEGE data over the Southern Hemisphere YOPP supersites. These data are now available on the ftp site ftp.umr-cnrm.fr (user: yopp / password: Arpege). Change working directory to YOPP-SH where NetCdf-MIP contains the output for the supersites using the exact  same format as used for the YOPP-NH super site (now available on the YOPP Data Portal). In addition 3D fields are output in a GRIB format (under YOPP-SH/3DFIELDS) as well. Inclusion of the SH data as NetCDF/CF in the YOPP Data portal is currently in progress.

CNRM, University de Toulouse, Météo-France, CNRS, Toulouse, France has provided YOPP Model Site Intercomparison data for the Arctic Supersites. These data are indexed in the catalogue and the results are available through https://yopp.met.no/metadata_search/?quid=3d5a7b4b0a927c64ef1d0f6d5759b… (push "search").

Several of the YOPP modelling teams have been working on extraction of data over YOPP supersites. Information from two models in the Arctic, ARPEGE and ECCC-CAPS are now available in NetCDF/CF through a THREDDS Data Server. Work is in progress to make these data searchable through the YOPP catalogue. The data is available at http://thredds.met.no/thredds/catalog/alertness/YOPP_supersite/catalog.html.

A working group has been identifying YOPP supersites where numerical simualtions can be compared with extensive observations. Background material is provided in the YOPP supersite Model Intercomparison project (YOPPSiteMIP) paper.
