A High Resolution (3km) Reanalysis Database for Mediterranean Coastal Winds Downscaled from ERA5, using the WRF Model

A high resolution (3km) reanalysis database of Mediterranean coastal winds was constructed to support a research on potential sailing mobility in Antiquity. The database was created by downscaling the ERA5 reanalysis database using the WRF numerical prediction model. A detailed description of the reanalysis database is provided in the attached PDF file. The database format is GRIB version 2 and the total volume of the data files is 435GB. The GRIB files are hosted at https://coastalwinds.haifa.ac.il as their total volume exceeds the volume that could be provided by Zenodo. Required files can therefore be downloaded from this location.
