We ran short term (10-15hr) weather forecasts each day from May 01 - Jun 15 2010 in support of the NSF funded Vortex2 tornado data gathering field effort. Upon completion we curated the collection, gathering together the discovery and use metadata about each of the forecast runs to store with the run. We bundled each forecast day as a WRF output file, a number of 2-D visualizations of various variables, and metadata for the WRF out and each 2D visualization. Days are then bundled into 28GB zipped tarballs.

View the README file for this collection. Or, view the license. We highly recommend checking the md5sum of each individual segment after downloading. MD5SUMs for all files are available here. 

Combining the files:
This can be done on linux and UNIX systems. Download all the files below and place them together in a directory. Then use 'cat' to join the files:

cat LEADII-Vortex2-dataset.tar.gza[a-i] > LEADII-Vortex2-dataset.tar.gz

This will require a rather large drive (600GB+), as you'll then have both the segmented copies PLUS the large tar.gz file once you're done.
