BOREAS AFM-08 ECMWF Hourly Surface and Upper Air Data for the SSA and NSA

The BOREAS AFM-08 team focused on modeling efforts to improve the understanding of the diurnal evolution of the convective boundary layer over the boreal forest. This data set contains hourly data from the ECMWF operational model from below the soil surface to the top of the atmosphere, including the model fluxes at the surface. Spatially, the data cover a pair of the points that enclose the rawinsonde sites at Candle Lake, Saskatchewan, in the SSA and Thompson, Manitoba, in the NSA. Temporally, the data include the two time periods of 13-May-1994 to 30-Sept-1994 and 01-Mar-1996 to 31-Mar-1997. The data are stored in tabular ASCII files. The number of records in the upper air data files may exceed 20,000, causing a problem for some software packages.
