Evaluation of Polar Winter Mesopause Wind in WACCMX+DART

Daily average zonal mean WACCMX+DART output for select days in DJFM 2006-2019 and JJAS 2008-2017. The following variables are stored as a function of latitude, pressure level, and date:

TP2D = "Temperature (K)"

U2D = "Zonal Wind (m/s)"

V2D = "Meridional Wind (m/s)"

Z2D = "Geopotential Height (m)"

BUTGWSPEC = "Beres (deep) U tendency - gravity wave spectrum" (m/s2) (Convective sources)

CH4 = "CH4 concentration" (mol/mol)

CO = "CO concentration" (mol/mol)

NO = "NO concentration" (mol/mol)

NOx = "NOx (N+NO+NO2)" (mol/mol)

O = "O concentration" (mol/mol)

O2 = "O2 concentration" (mol/mol)

O3: = "O3 concentration" (mol/mol)

OMEGA = "Vertical velocity (pressure)" (Pa/s)

TTGW = "T tendency - gravity wave drag" (K/s)

UTGWORO = "U tendency - orographic gravity wave drag" (m/s2)

UTGWSPEC = "C&M U tendency - gravity wave spectrum" (m/s2) (Frontal Sources)

VTGWORO = "V tendency - orographic gravity wave drag" (m/s2)

VTGWSPEC = "C&M V tendency - gravity wave spectrum" (m/s2)
