Glacier, is one of these that is currently experiencing accelerated
thinning, retreat, and enhanced surface melt. Understanding both the
influence of atmospheric processes on the glacier and feedbacks from
changing surface conditions is crucial for our understanding of present
stability and future change. However, relatively few studies have focused on
the atmospheric processes in this region, and even fewer have used
high-resolution modelling as a tool to address these research questions.
Here we present a high-spatial-resolution (1 km) and high-temporal-resolution (up to hourly)
atmospheric modelling dataset, NEGIS_WRF, for the
79<span class="inline-formula"><sup>∘</sup></span> N and northeast Greenland region from 2014 to 2018 and an
evaluation of the model's success at representing daily near-surface
meteorology when compared with automatic weather station records. The
dataset (Turton et al., 2019b: <a href="https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/53E6Z">https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/53E6Z</a>) is now
available for a wide variety of applications in the atmospheric,
