MIROC6-AGCM dataset for "Northern Hemisphere winter atmospheric teleconnections are intensified by extratropical ocean-atmosphere coupling"

MIROC6-AGCM simulation dataset used in the paper “Northern Hemisphere winter atmospheric teleconnections are intensified by extratropical ocean-atmosphere coupling” submitted to Communications Earth & Environment.

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°, 20°–90°N).

Variables include wind velocities (u, v), pressure velocity (omg), temperature (T), geopotential height (z), eddy momentum (UU, VV, UV) and heat (UT, VT) fluxes by transient eddies, surface sea level pressure (slp), 10m wind velocity (u10, v10), 10m wind speed (uvabs), 2m air temperature (T2), surface pressure (Ps), sensible and latent heat fluxes (sens, evap).

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).
