Regardless of whether any files from the below sections are used, one of the following two downloads is required for any run of the WPS Geogrid program. Beneath the orange buttons below is a table that includes a link to each individual file, a description of the file, the resolution, and whether that particular file is included in the High-res and/or Low-res pacakaged link. * **The high-resolution data file** contains the highest resolution of each mandatory field - this is the one that is most commonly-used, and is recommended for most applications. *Note that this file is ~29G uncompressed (2.6G compressed)*. If using a shared cluster, it is recommended to place these files in a shared directory so that it is not necessary to install on multiple individual spaces. * **The low-resolution data file** contains only the lowest resolution of each mandatory field (useful for model testing and educational purposes - not for real forecasting applications). | .. note:: Unless planning to only run simulations for teaching purposes, **it is recommended to download the highest resolution of each field.** | | .. rst-class:: horizbuttons-primary-m * Download `Highest Resolution of Each Mandatory Field `_ | .. rst-class:: horizbuttons-primary-m * Download `Lowest Resolution of Each Mandatory Field `_ | | | **Details of files included in above two links** .. csv-table:: :header: File, Description, Resolution, Included in High-res Data Package, Included in Low-res Data Package :widths: 30, 30, 20, 10, 10 :escape: \ :align: center `albedo_modis `_, Monthly MODIS surface albedo, 3-arc-min, X, X `greenfrac_fpar_modis `_ |br| `greenfrac_fpar_modis_5m `_, MODIS green vegetation fraction\, which is the fraction of photosynthetically active radiation absorbed by green vegetation, 3-arc-sec |br| 5-arc-min, X |br| , X |br| X `lai_modis_10m `_ |br| `lai_modis_30s `_, MODIS Leaf area index, 10-arc-min |br| 30-arc-sec, X |br| X, X |br| `maxsnowalb_modis `_, MODIS maximum snow albedo, 3-arc-min, X, X `modis_landuse_20class_30s_with_lakes `_ |br| `modis_landuse_20class_5m_with_lakes `_, Noah-modified IGBP-MODIS landuse with 20 classes, 30-arc-sec |br| 5-arc-min, X |br| , |br| `orogwd_2deg `_ |br| `orogwd_1deg `_ |br| `orogwd_30m `_ |br| `orogwd_20m `_ |br| `orogwd_10m `_, Oragraphic Gravity Wave Drag (GWDO) for use with the GSL GWD WRF model option (gwd_opt = 3), 2-degree |br| 1-degree |br| 30-arc-min |br| 20-arc-min |br| 10-arc-min, X |br| X |br| X |br| X |br| X, |br| X |br| |br| |br| `soiltemp_1deg `_, Annual mean deep soil temperature, 1-degree, X, X `soiltype_bot_5m `_ |br| `soiltype_bot_30s `_ |br| `soiltype_top_5m `_ |br| `soiltype_top_30s `_, 16-category bottom-layer and top-layer soil type, 5-arc-min |br| 30-arc-sec |br| 5-arc-min |br| 30-arc-sec, |br| X |br| |br| X, X |br| |br| X |br| `topo_gmted2010_5m `_ |br| `topo_gmted2010_30s `_, USGS GMTED terrain elevation, 5-arc-min |br| 30-arc-sec, |br| X, X |br| `varsso `_ |br| `varsso_10m `_ |br| `varsso_5m `_ |br| `varsso_2m `_, Variance of subgrid-scale orography, 30-arc-sec |br| 10-arc-min |br| 5-arc-min |br| 2-arc-min, X |br| X |br| X |br| X, "" | | | | | Static Data for Specific Applications ===================================== These data are mandatory for specific applications. .. note:: These data must be used in combination with the :ref:`Mandatory Static Data`. | | .. csv-table:: :header: Packaged File, Individual Files in Package, Description, Usage :escape: \ :align: center `geog_thompson28_chem `_, `clayfrac_5m `_ |br| `erod `_ |br| `sandfrac_5m `_, 5-min clay fraction |br| EROD\, and |br| 5-min sand fraction, Required if mp_physics=28 and dust_emis=1 `geog_noahmp `_, `crop `_ |br| `groundwater `_ |br| `soilgrids `_ |br| `drainage_map `_, **crop** file contains mean harvest date\, growing season GDD\, mean planting date\, fraction of corn/soybeans/wheat/cotton\, flood irrigation fraction\, micro-irrigation fraction\, sprinkler irrigation fraction\, along with the drainage map and irrigation map |br| |br| **groundwater** file contains transmissivity e-folding depth\, climatological recharge\, riverbed elevation\, and climatological water table depth |br| |br| **soilgrids** contains soil composition and categories based on soilgrids, Can be used with NoahMP LSM (sf_surface_physics=4) |br| includes NoahMP irrigation data |br| drainage map used with opt_tdrn= 1 or 2 `irrigation `_, irrigation, Irrigated land percentage, Use with Surface Irrigation Schemes (sf_surf_irr_scheme= 1\,2\,3) `geog_px `_, `nlcd2011_can_ll_9s `_ |br| `nlcd2011_imp_ll_9s `_ |br| `nlcd2011_ll_9s `_, 2011 NLCD Canopy Percent |br| 2011 NLCD Imperviousness Percent |br| 2011 NLCD and MODIS land cover fraction data, Required when considering urban effects and using the Pleim-Xiu LSM (sf_surface_physics=7);
