A meteorology database of Hurricane Patricia's remnants along the Northern Gulf Coast

A gridded hourly database at 0.01 degree spacing for the northern Gulf of Mexico was developed from October 18-31, 2015 during tropical cyclone Patricia. It combines 4 data sources to create 13 meteorological parameters in NetCDF format. Data sources include: the Real-Time Mesoscale Analysis (RTMA), the North American Mesoscale Forecast System (NAM), the Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD), and the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR). These data sources provide 2-meter temperature, relative humidity, surface pressure, 10-meter u and v wind components, sea surface temperature, cloud fraction, downward shortwave radiation flux, downward longwave radiation flux and one hour precipitation total. Additional parameters including the surface u and v momentum stresses, and sensible heat flux, were calculated using the Florida State University’s Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE) algorithm.

本数据集为2015年10月18日至31日热带气旋帕特里夏（Patricia）活动期间，针对墨西哥湾北部构建的0.01度分辨率网格化逐小时数据库。该数据集整合4类数据源，生成NetCDF格式的13项气象参数。所用数据源包括：实时中尺度分析（Real-Time Mesoscale Analysis, RTMA）、北美中尺度预报系统（North American Mesoscale Forecast System, NAM）、下一代天气雷达（Next Generation Weather Radar, NEXRAD）以及先进甚高分辨率辐射计（Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer, AVHRR）。上述数据源可提供2米气温、相对湿度、地面气压、10米u、v风分量、海表温度、云量、向下短波辐射通量、向下长波辐射通量及逐小时降水总量。另有地面u、v动量通量与感热通量共3项额外参数，通过佛罗里达州立大学耦合海洋-大气响应试验（COARE）算法计算得到。
