Abstract

This dataset contains a list of dates that correspond to anomalously-strong jet streaks over North America and the North Atlantic within the NCEP Climate Forecast System Reanalysis between 1979–2018 ("strong_jets_90per_24h_filter_comma.out"). The anomalously-strong jet streaks occur on dates that rank in the top 10% of all analysis times based on the areal coverage of 250-hPa wind speeds in excess of 100 m/s. The location of each strong jet on the dates indicated in the aforementioned file are described by a latitude–longitude centroid contained in "strong_jets_90per_centroids_24h_filter.out". A similar methodology is used to identify jets that rank in the top 10% of all analysis times based on the areal coverage of 90–100 m/s wind speeds and 80–90 m/s wind speeds, respectively (see filenames with “90–100ms” and “80–90ms” appended to them). The netCDF files contain data describing two Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model simulations of an anomalously-strong jet on 22 December 2013. "wrfout_2013decjet.nc" describes a model simulation of the 2013 event that was conducted with full physics, whereas "wrfout_2013decjet_nolh_new.nc" describes a model simulation of the 2013 event conducted with no microphysical heating and with the cumulus parameterization turned off.

To download this data set with Globus, click on the link in the Related URL field, and follow these instructions. Step 1: Sign in to Globus (https://www.globus.org/app/login). If you are with an institution that is registered with Globus, you can simply sign in with your institutional credentials. If your institution is not registered with Globus, you will need to first make an account (https://www.globusid.org/create) before signing in. Step 2: Install Globus Connect Personal (https://www.globus.org/globus-connect-personal) on your local computer. This will establish your local endpoint to which you can download the CU Scholar dataset. You'll give the local endpoint a name (e.g., "Jane Doe's Laptop") Step 3: Click on the Globus URL for the dataset on its CU Scholar landing page. This will bring up the dataset on the left hand side of the Globus file manager. On the right hand side, search for your endpoint name (e.g., "Jane Doe's Laptop"), which will bring up the filesystem on your local machine (make sure Globus Connect Personal is running). Highlight the dataset files that you want to transfer and click on the blue "start" button to transfer the data to your machine. Data storage for this data set is supported by CU Boulder Research Computing's PetaLibrary.
