Table 1. Meteorological parameters units and definition.

PARAMETER UNITS DEFINITION
RELATIVE HUMIDITY (RH) % Ratio of actual partial press of water vapor to the partial pressure at saturation, expressed in percent. The daily average of relative humidity at 2 meters above the surface of the earth.
DEW/FROST POINT (T-DEW) ˚C  Temperature at which air is saturated with water vapor. The daily average of dew/frost point temperature is at 2 meters above the surface of the earth and calculated as the average of hourly values pulled from the MERRA-2 assimilation model.
MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE (T-MAX) ˚C The daily maximum temperature at 2 meters above the surface of the earth.
MINIMUM TEMPERATURE (T-MIN) ˚C The daily minimum temperature at 2 meters above the surface of the earth.
MAXIMUM WIND SPEED (WS-MAX) m/s The daily Maximum wind speed at 2 meters above the surface of the earth.
MINIMUM WIND SPEED (WS-MIN) m/s The daily Minimum wind speed at 2 meters above the surface of the earth.
