Dataset of "Gravity Wave Activity in the Atmosphere of Mars During the 2018 Global Dust Storm: Simulations With a High-Resolution Model" (1/2)

This dataset contains the GrADS data of high-resolution Mars GCM results used for figures in the paper  "Gravity Wave Activity in the Atmosphere of Mars During the 2018 Global Dust Storm: Simulations With a High-Resolution Model" by T. Kuroda, A.S. Medvedev and E. Yiğit.

Each file with the name starting 'data' contains two-dimensional (X: longitude, Y: latitude) data of surface pressure (Ps) and dust opacity in infrared wavelength (tau), and three-dimensional (X: longitude, Y: latitude, Z:sigma-level) data of temperature (T), zonal wind velocity (u), meridional wind velocity (v) and vertical wind velocity (w), with snapshots in every 1/6 Sol for Ls of 30 degrees. The dust scenario implemented for producing this dataset is taken from Montabone et al. (2020).

data180rdc-my34.tar.xz: for Ls=180-210 (49 Sols)

data210rdc-my34.tar.xz: for Ls=210-240 (47 Sols)

data240rdc-my34.tar.xz: for Ls=240-270 (46 Sols)

The file 'flux61ls5-my34.tar.xz' contains the 3-dimensional fluxes and physical parameters calculated from the data above and in another data set (Kuroda, 2020). The contents are (T')^2, (u')^2, (v')^2, u'v', u'w', v'w' T(bar), u(bar), v(bar), Brunt-Väisälä frequency, and geopotential height. There are 36 time grids between Ls=182.5 and Ls=357.5 with the step of Ls=5 degrees. Kinetic and potential energies can be derived from these values using the formulae in the paper.
