They have impact over a large area (usually multiple states), with individual locations sustaining severe intensity winds for as long as 20 minutes or more in the most extreme cases. The data presented here were used to analyze derecho cases that had long-duration winds by simulating each one using the Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model and examining how the dominant wind-producing mechanisms for both the strongest and longest-duration winds vary across each simulation. The observed derechos occurred on 21-22 June 2015, 10 August 2020, 29 June 2023, and 20-21 June 2025. completed datahelp@ucar.edu pointOfContact notPlanned dataset https://gdex.ucar.edu/images/ds_logos/default_200_200.png Logo thumbnail from URL png HDF5/NetCDF4 WMO GRIB2 dataset Resource Type 2021-03-30 revision 4.4 DataCite Metadata Working Group orginator resourceTypeGeneral WRF > Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration Global Change Master Directory GCMD 2026-08-05 revision 24.5 NASA Global Change Master Directory orginator Valids List: Platforms EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC WINDS > SURFACE WINDS > U/V WIND COMPONENTS EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC WINDS > SURFACE WINDS > WIND SPEED EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC WINDS > UPPER LEVEL WINDS > U/V WIND COMPONENTS EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC WINDS > WIND DYNAMICS > VERTICAL WIND VELOCITY/SPEED EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > WEATHER EVENTS > WIND STORMS > DERECHO U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration Global Change Master Directory GCMD 2026-08-05 revision 24.5 NASA Global Change Master Directory orginator Valids List: Science and Services Keywords Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License None eng utf-8 climatologyMeteorologyAtmosphere 2015-06-21 2025-06-21 NSF NCAR Geoscience Data Exchange datahelp@ucar.edu https://gdex.ucar.edu distributor 108987.636 https://gdex.ucar.edu/datasets/d189951/ https Dataset Description Related Link information https://gdex.ucar.edu/datasets/d189951/dataaccess/ https Data Access Related Link download none asNeeded
