This data set contains hourly WRF-GHG model simulations and is presented in "A WRF-Chem study on the variability of CO2, CH4 and CO concentrations at Xianghe, China supported by ground-based observations and TROPOMI" by Callewaert et al., EGUsphere [preprint], 2023. https://doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-2023-2103 The data is structured in daily subfolders (yyyy/mm/dd) with hourly WRF-GHG output files (wrfout_*) for every model domain (d01, d02 and d03): <./yyyy/mm/dd/wrfout_d0x_yyyymmdThh0000.nc>. These files are in NetCDF format and contain a wide range of meteorological variables as well as concentration fields for CO2, CH4 and CO split in different tracers depending on the source sector. A complete list of all the variables is given below. The data set also contains the namelist.input text-file that is used to create these model simulations.
