Abstract:
A gridded hourly database at 0.01 degree spacing for the northern Gulf of Mexico, the CONCORDE Meteorological
Analysis (CMA), was developed from April 2015 to December 2016. It combines 4 data sources to create 13
meteorological parameters in NetCDF format. Data sources include: the Real-Time Mesoscale Analysis (RTMA),
the North American Mesoscale Forecast System (NAM), the Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD), and the
Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR). These data sources provide 2-meter temperature, relative
humidity, surface pressure, 10-meter u and v wind components, sea surface temperature, cloud fraction,
downward shortwave radiation flux, downward longwave radiation flux and one hour precipitation total.
Additional parameters including the surface u and v momentum stresses, and sensible heat flux, were
calculated using the Florida State University’s Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE)
algorithm.
Purpose:
The necessity of high-resolution atmospheric forcing for the ocean model development motivated the creation of
a long-term dataset known as the CONCORDE Meteorological Analysis (CMA).

Supplemental Information:
Latitude (decimal degrees), longitude (decimal degrees), time (seconds since 1970-1-1 00:00:00), 2-meter
temperature (Celsius), relative humidity (rha, Percentage), surface pressure (mb), 10-meter u and v wind
components (m/s), sea surface temperature (sst, Celsius), cloud fraction (decimal), downward shortwave
radiation flux (DSWRF, Watts/m2), downward longwave radiation flux (DLWRF, Watts/m2), one hour precipitation
total (precip1Hr, mm/hr), surface u and v momentum stresses (N/m2), and sensible heat flux (Watts/m2).|The
necessity of high-resolution atmospheric forcing for the ocean model development motivated the creation of a
long-term dataset known as the CONCORDE Meteorological Analysis (CMA). CMA consists of hourly reanalysis of
2-m temperature, relative humidity, surface pressure, 10-m u and v wind components, sea surface temperature,
cloud fraction, downward shortwave radiation flux, downward longwave radiation flux, 1-h precipitation
total, surface u and v momentum stresses, and sensible heat flux at 0.01° grid spacing. The surface momentum
and thermodynamic fields are processed from the Real-Time Mesoscale Analysis (RTMA). RTMA (De Pondeca et al.
2011) is a 2.5-km 2DVAR product which uses the High Resolution Rapid Refresh (HRRR) model forecast (Benjamin
et al. 2016) for the background field, adjusted with surface observations with a non-isotropic recursive
filter (Purser et al. 2003). The RTMA data assimilation procedure matches observed surface data, captures
mesoscale and diurnal patterns, and provides a coherent field that best matches the geographically-related
features. CMA’s radiation parameters and total cloud cover percentage are from North American Mesoscale
Forecast System (NAM) forecast fields. The Next Generation Weather Radar Level-III provides the hourly
precipitation totals on a 0.24-km by 1° grid based on a dual polarization Quantitative Precipitation
Estimate (QPE) algorithm. Radar data from top of each hour are used from Slidell, LA or Mobile, AL are used
based on closer proximity to the analysis grid point, then interpolated by nearest neighbor. The Advanced
Very High Resolution Radiometer provides daily sea surface temperature in 1.09 km resolution. Quality
control is applied and a 10-day running mean was used. The Florida State University’s Coupled
Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment flux algorithm calculates the sensible heat flux and surface momentum
stresses. All data is either bilinearly interpolated or uses near-neighbor. The CMA dataset begins in April
2015 and covers through December 2016.||||This dataset was initially accepted on 2019-02-11 and was updated
on 2019-02-28. The values in the variables "surfaceVMomentumStress" and "surfaceUMomentumStress" were
modified to correct an error in which the output was always absolute values.

<gco:CharacterString>Latitude (decimal degrees), longitude (decimal degrees), time (seconds since 1970-1-1 00:00:00), 2-meter temperature (Celsius), relative humidity (rha, Percentage), surface pressure (mb), 10-meter u and v wind components (m/s), sea surface temperature (sst, Celsius), cloud fraction (decimal), downward shortwave radiation flux (DSWRF, Watts/m2), downward longwave radiation flux (DLWRF, Watts/m2), one hour precipitation total (precip1Hr, mm/hr), surface u and v momentum stresses (N/m2), and sensible heat flux (Watts/m2).|The necessity of high-resolution atmospheric forcing for the ocean model development motivated the creation of a long-term dataset known as the CONCORDE Meteorological Analysis (CMA). CMA consists of hourly reanalysis of 2-m temperature, relative humidity, surface pressure, 10-m u and v wind components, sea surface temperature, cloud fraction, downward shortwave radiation flux, downward longwave radiation flux, 1-h precipitation total, surface u and v momentum stresses, and sensible heat flux at 0.01° grid spacing. The surface momentum and thermodynamic fields are processed from the Real-Time Mesoscale Analysis (RTMA). RTMA (De Pondeca et al. 2011) is a 2.5-km 2DVAR product which uses the High Resolution Rapid Refresh (HRRR) model forecast (Benjamin et al. 2016) for the background field, adjusted with surface observations with a non-isotropic recursive filter (Purser et al. 2003). The RTMA data assimilation procedure matches observed surface data, captures mesoscale and diurnal patterns, and provides a coherent field that best matches the geographically-related features. CMA’s radiation parameters and total cloud cover percentage are from North American Mesoscale Forecast System (NAM) forecast fields. The Next Generation Weather Radar Level-III provides the hourly precipitation totals on a 0.24-km by 1° grid based on a dual polarization Quantitative Precipitation Estimate (QPE) algorithm. Radar data from top of each hour are used from Slidell, LA or Mobile, AL are used based on closer proximity to the analysis grid point, then interpolated by nearest neighbor. The Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer provides daily sea surface temperature in 1.09 km resolution. Quality control is applied and a 10-day running mean was used. The Florida State University’s Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment flux algorithm calculates the sensible heat flux and surface momentum stresses. All data is either bilinearly interpolated or uses near-neighbor. The CMA dataset begins in April 2015 and covers through December 2016.||||This dataset was initially accepted on 2019-02-11 and was updated on 2019-02-28. The values in the variables "surfaceVMomentumStress" and "surfaceUMomentumStress" were modified to correct an error in which the output was always absolute values.
