[1] Introduction

This directory contains supporting data (model simulation data) of the paper entitled
"Enhanced Meiyu-Baiu Rainfall in Early Summer 2020: Aftermath of the 2019 Super IOD Event"
by Yuhei Takaya, Ichiro Ishikawa, Chiaki Kobayashi, Hirokazu Endo and Tomoaki Ose.


[2] 2020 simulation data
    --------------------
All the binary data is 4-byte single-precision floating-point format (big endian).

(1) Precipitation, Sea level pressure, Sea surface temperature, 200-hPa zonal wind, 
      500-hPa geopotential height

All files contains 1.25 degrees lat-lon fields (288x145) averaged during 1 June-31 July 2020.
The initial date is 26 April 2020. 52-member fields were concatenated. 
(See also the corresponding description files "*.ctl" in this directory for more details.)

* CTRL experiment 
Precipitation (mm/6hr)      : rain_CTRL_1jun-31jul_2020.dat
Sea level pressure (hPa)    : slp_CTRL_1jun-31jul_2020.dat
Sea surface temperature (K) : sst_CTRL_1jun-31jul_2020.dat
200-hPa zonal wind (m/s)    : u200_CTRL_1jun-31jul_2020.dat
500-hPa geopotential height : z500_CTRL_1jun-31jul_2020.dat

* IOCLM experiment
Precipitation (mm/6hr)      : rain_IOCLM_1jun-31jul_2020.dat
Sea level pressure (hPa)    : slp_IOCLM_1jun-31jul_2020.dat
Sea surface temperature (K) : sst_IOCLM_1jun-31jul_2020.dat
200-hPa zonal wind (m/s)    : u200_IOCLM_1jun-31jul_2020.dat

(2) Simulated monthly column-integrated moisture flux 

The directory "WVflux" contains simulated monthly column-integrated moisture flux.
In the "WVflux" directory, there are two directories, "CTRL" and "IOCLM".
Each directory contains monthly averages of simulated monthly column-integrated moisture flux. 

File naming convention :
YYYYMMDD_[member]_vint.dat
YYYMMDD indicates an initial date, and [member] indicates the ensemble member.

[3] 1981-2010 hindcast data
    -----------------------

(1) Precipitation, Sea level pressure, Sea surface temperature, 200-hPa zonal wind, 
      500-hPa geopotential height

All files contains 1.25 degrees lat-lon fields (288x145) averaged during 1 June-31 July 
during 1981-2010. The initial date is 26 April 2020. 10-member fields were concatenated. 
(See also the corresponding description files "*.ctl" in this directory for more details.)

* CTRL experiment (hindcast)

[4] MOVE/MRI.COM-G2 data
    --------------------
All the binary data is 4-byte single-precision floating-point format (little endian).

The directory "move-g2" contains OHC and SSH data for 2019-2020, latitude sections of
OHC data. The grid information is corresponding described description files (*.ctl).
 
OHC (degC) data for 2019-2020 and climatology (1981-2010) : ohc_2019-2020.dat 
SSH (cm) data for 2019-2020 and climatology (1981-2010) : ssh_2019-2020.dat

latitude sections of OHC (degC) : ohc_lat_sect_1960-now.dat  
climatology (1960-2019) : ohc_lat_sect_clim_1960-2019.dat
