ERA5 monthly-mean zonal-mean zonal wind data accompanying “Experiment design, nudging protocol, and models participating in Phase 2 of the APARC Quasi-Biennial Oscillation initiative (QBOi)”: https://doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-2026-1165 Unit: m/s Temporal resolution: monthly means Spatial resolution: 1.0° latitude, 37 pressure levels Coverage: Global Period: January 1979 to December 2020 Format: netCDF-4 File checksum (sha256): 4c2fde12221208e1e76e34ca6b813369dc706d2b2ea1a204dc374ef058f155c4 The monthly-mean data was retrieved directly from the CDS API and then zonally averaged (original longitude resolution: 1.0°). ERA5 is produced by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) within the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S). This subset is shared for reproducibility purposes in support of the accompanying publication.
