COAMPS-TC atmospheric data subset for Hurricane Michael

Hurricane Michael was a Category 5 hurricane when it made landfall on the Florida Panhandle on 10 October 2018. The data subset of the Hurricane Michael Coupled Ocean/Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System for Tropical Cyclones (COAMPS-TC)  was utilized for the manuscript \"In situ observations at the air-sea interface by expendable air-deployed drifters under Hurricane Michael (2018)\". Zonal and meridional 10-m winds were subset for designated time steps and interpolated to the time and location of the drifter observations. The wind fields were used in calculations of wave age and to compare to drifter observed winds and European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) Earth Reanalysis version 5 reanalysis (ERA5) wind., The COAMPS-TC winds are described in the manuscript \"In situ observations at the air-sea interface by expendable air-deployed drifters under Hurricane Michael (2018)\". The data is availabile in a NetCDF format, with metadata. The northward and eastward 10-m winds are are at DWSD1, DWSD2, DWSD3, DWSD4, DWSD5, MiniMet1, MiniMet2, and MiniMet3, along with the time, latitude and longitude of the drifter observations. For each drifter these are labeled either \"DWSD(number)_(variable)\" or \"COAMPS_MiniMet(number)_variable\". The time step snapshots of eastward and northward wind shown in Figure 1d are labeled similararily as \"COAMPS_snapshot_(variable)\"., , # COAMPS-TC Atmospheric Data Subset for Hurricane Michael

## Description of the data and file structure

The northward and eastward 10-m winds are are at DWSD1, DWSD2, DWSD3, DWSD4, DWSD5, MiniMet1, MiniMet2, and MiniMet3, along with the time, latitude and longitude of the drifter observations. For each drifter these are labeled either \"DWSD(number)_(variable)\" or \"COAMPS_MiniMet(number)_variable\". The time step snapshots of eastward and northward wind shown in Figure 1d are labeled similararily as \"COAMPS_snapshot \_(variable)\".
