Load the example MPAS dataset.
This is a spatial and variable subset of native MPAS output, Furthermore, it has been regridded to a regular lat/lon grid (0.25°) from the original 15-km mesh.
After regridding, it was spatially subsetted so that lat ranges from -5 to 40°N and lon from 85 to 170°E. This domain relates to the PRECIP field campaign (
load_mpas_precip()
).It has
