Open Research Data for "Do Tropical Cyclone Outer Size Forecasts Improve Simultaneously with Intensity Forecasts?" 1.0

The simulated intensity (maximum wind speed, kts) and outer size (R34, nmi) in each quadrant of fifteen selected North Atlantic hurricanes from GFSv16, SHiELD, TSHiELD HAFS-A, and HWRF. The "aalxx-xxxx.dat" file is named by the hurricane number and corresponding year. In each aalxx-xxxx.dat, the codes for every model are: AVNO (GFSv16), SHiELD (F226), T-SHiELD (T22I), HAFS-A(HFSA), and HWRF (HWRF). The simulated intensity and size are obtained from the model outputs using the GFDL vortex tracker. The wind profiles are uniformly interpolated onto a 3-km-resolution grid despite the varying resolutions across these models (Marchok 2021). Marchok, T. (2021).
