ERA-Interim QGw

This dataset includes the vertical motions corresponding to vorticity advection, temperature advection, diabatic heating, and lower boundary forcing. This is the result of solving the Quasigeostrophic omega equation by including each right-hand-side term one by one using the ERA-Interim reanalysis dataset. The Quasigeostrophic omega equation can refer to Holton 2004 or Eq.1 in Dai and Nie (2020).
