A 10-km and hourly dynamically downscaling simulation dataset from NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis over Japan for 1948-2006. The data includes most of 3-dimensional atmospheric state (temperature, wind speed, omega, height, humidity), and various surface fields (precipitation, evaporation, PBL height, surface air condition, radiation, etc.). The data is particularly useful for high resolution analysis of meteorology, and application for other fields such as agriculture or hydrology.

The data was produced in Earth Simulator Center with the Earth Simulator.
The Scripps version of Regional Spectral Model (RSM; Kanamitsu et al. 2005) is used. The RSM utilizes a spectral method (with sine and cosine series) in two dimensions. The model configuration and the downscaling method in this study are basically the same as that of CaRD10 (10 km California Reanalysis Downscaling; Kanamitsu and Kanamaru, 2007) but for a domain covering Japan Islands (22.123–49.163N and 119.960–151.577E) and for narrower lateral boundary nudging zones that extends only 2.5% of the total width in each of four lateral boundaries instead of 11.5% in CaRD10 to increase the usable domain.
As same as CaRD10, a spectral nudging scheme, i.e., scale selective bias correction (SSBC, Kanamaru and Kanamitsu 2007), is applied to the Reanalysis large scale thermodynamic fields for a 10 km horizontal resolution downscaling simulation, to reduce the growth of large-scale error spanning the regional domain. The scheme consists of three components: 1) dampening the large-scale (more than 1000 km scale) part of the wind perturbation toward zero, with dampening coefficient of 0.9, 2) removing the area average perturbation of temperature and moisture at every model level, and 3) adjusting the area mean perturbation logarithm of surface pressure to the corresponding difference of logarithm of surface pressure due to the area mean difference in the global and regional topography.
