The following fields requested in MAP D-DPHASE Implementation Plan (see entry "dphase_implementation_plan_info") are not provided in this data set as they are no output variables of MM5.
- 2m min./max temperature
- 10m wind gust
- grid scale/ convective precipitation (rain, snow, graupel, hail) (only total precip is delivered)
- total/ grid scale precipitation rate (rain, snow, graupel, hail)
- cloud bottom/top height
- convective cloud bottom/top height
- sunshine duration
- snowfall limit
- leaf area index
- root depth
- soil moistures (all layers).
Note: In the dphase_mm5_2_4d and dphase_mm5_2_ct experiments the datasets are called CDOM and DDOM, but both cover only the CDOM region. They differ only in time resolution (DDOM 1h, CDOM 15min) not in region.
