Dataset of "Effects of latitude-dependent gravity wave source variations on the middle and upper atmosphere"

This is a dataset for three 60-day simulations with the CMAT2-GCM for June-July 2010 conditions, using the Whole atmosphere gravity wave parameterization by Yiğit et al. (2008).

Dimensions: 66 vertical levels, 24 longitudes, and 91 latitudes. The bottom level is at 100 mb. 

Variables: There are seven physical variables. Daily-averaged zonal wind, temperature, geopotential height, zonal drag, gravity wave total heating/cooling rate, gravity wave-induced temperature fluctuations, and gravity wave absolute momentum flux. 

Simulations: A benchmark run "00n", a run with latitude-dependent gravity wave source spectrum with 50% increased flux at the lower boundary in both hemispheres "51n"; same as "52n" but 100% increased flux in the Southern Hemisphere only.
