Derived Data supporting "On the Seasonal Cycles of Tropical Cyclone Potential Intensity" (Gilford et al. 2017, JoC)

Derived monthly mean tropical cyclone potential intensities (and associated variables) using the Bister and Emanuel 2002 PI algorithm, ftp://texmex.mit.edu/pub/emanuel/TCMAX; from MERRA2 (averaged over 1980-2016) and ERA-I data (averaged over 1980-2013), on 2.5x2.5 degree grids and with the ERA-I land-sea mask already applied. This data supported the publication of Gilford et al. (2017, JoC). When using this data, please include the citation: Daniel M. Gilford, Susan Solomon, and Kerry Emanuel, 2017: On the Seasonal Cycles of Tropical Cyclone Potential Intensity. <em>J. Climate, </em><strong>30</strong>, 6085–6096. doi: 10.1175/JCLI-D-16-0827.1.
