MIROC6-AGCM dataset for "The Influence of Extratropical Ocean on the PNA Teleconnection: Role of Atmosphere-Ocean Coupling"

MIROC6-AGCM simulation dataset used in the paper “The Influence of Extratropical Ocean on the PNA Teleconnection:  Role of Atmosphere-Ocean Coupling" submitted to Geophysical Research Letters. This dataset includes two experimental datasets called "ACLM" and "AHIST". For "AHIST," it is complements data from another repository (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10565870).

Data Format

All data are 4-byte binary files accompanied by GrADS control file (http://cola.gmu.edu/grads/) to access the data.

Variables

The dataset uploaded includes a 50-member ensemble of winter-mean (December–January­–February) fields for 1980–2020 (a year refers to that including January of each DJF season) over the Northern Hemisphere (0°–360°, 10°–90°N). A part of variables includes data in the tropics (0°–360°, 20S°–90°N).

Variables include wind velocities (u, v), pressure velocity (omg), temperature (T), geopotential height (z), eddy momentum (UU, VV, UV), heat (UT, VT), and covariance of height (ZZ) fluxes by transient eddies, 10m wind velocity (u10, v10), 10m wind speed (uvabs), surface pressure (Ps), sensible and latent heat fluxes (sens, evap), precipitation (prcp), cumulus precipitation (prcpc), and precipitation by large-scale condensation (prcpl).

The diabatic heating rate consists of only ten ensemble members from 1980-2014. The dtphy is the sum of the diabatic heating terms from different physical processes in the model, which include vertical diffusion (dtvdf), cumulus heating (dtcum), large-scale condensation heating (dtlsc), shallow convection heating (dtscn), cloud physics heating (dtcph), and radiative heating by long wave (dtradl) and short wave (dtrads).
