Spatial dataset of fog harvesting potential of coastal Chile using the AMARU model
Abstract
This dataset contains spatial data at monthly time resolution of fog and low clouds (FLC), fog water-harvesting potential (Wh), and liquid water content (LWC) related to the advective fog phenomenon in Chile. 00_FLC file corresponds to fog and low cloud frequency (%) derived from GOES satellite at monthly temporal resolution from 1998 to 2022. Spatial resolution is 2 km/pixel, spanning latitudes -17 to -36 and longitudes -75 to -67. Information about methodology can be obtained from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.atmosres.2024.107533 XX_AMARU files contain Wh (L/m2/month) and mean LWC (g/kg) data at monthly temporal resolution, derived from the AMARU model (Lobos-Roco et al., 2025). The spatial resolution is 90m/pixel, and the datasets are divided into Chile's northern (lat: -17) to southern (lat:- 39) administrative regions. Every region modelling was performed using a representative and available year. For more information about methodology, please refer to: https://doi.org/10.5194/hess-29-109-2025, and for data visualisation, please check the following dashboard: https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/81ede259e65c40ffb8509dcd8e708ade XX_AMARU_VP files contain simulated vertical profiles of several variables obtained from the AMARU model as input for spatial datasets.
