The Finite-Volume Cubed-Sphere Dynamical Core (FV3) Version 1.0 Dataset

The Finite-Volume Cubed-Sphere Dynamical Core (FV3) dataset version 1.0 contains hourly gridded atmospheric variables over the globe, spanning 24 August 2017 through 26 August 2017. The dataset includes gridded fields of horizontal wind at select levels (700 hPa, 300 hPa, and 100 hPa) and brightness temperature from several runs of the model at 3km, 6km, and 13km grid spacing. The Community Radiative Transfer Model (CRTM), version 2.3.0, was employed to translate model state variables into simulated brightness temperature corresponding to channel 8 of GOES-16. This dataset is useful for studies of atmospheric energetics and specra, predictability, convection, and Hurricane Harvey. This dataset is downloadable as netCDF files, and is documented in a companion paper: Fan, D., S. J. Greybush, X. Chen, Y. Lu, G. S. Young, and F. Zhang, 2021: Exploring The Role Of Moist Convection In The Atmospheric -5/3 Energy Spectra Using Global High-resolution Non-hydrostatic Simulations And The New-generation Geostationary Satellite Observations.
