abstract: "<p>This is modified atmospheric reanalysis data derived from ERA5 (ECMWF) at 0.5x0.5 degree resolution and hourly time steps. </p><p><br></p><p>The data is generated by the preprocessing step of the moisture tracking model WAM2layers v3. Using this dataset gives users the possibility skip this data-intensive and time-consuming first step and immediately proceed with actual moisture tracking with WAM2layers v3 to determine moisture transport in the atmosphere.  </p><p><br></p><p>Besides the actual preprocessed data, the data also contains the scripts that were used to download and process the original data.</p>"
