**************************************************************** * README FOR TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) TRACK DATA IN D4PDF * * Documented by Kohei Yoshida on 28 NOV 2019 * * Reference paper: Yoshida et al. (GRL, 2017) * * https://doi.org/10.1029/2017JD028017 * * This dataset is a part of d4PDF, and thus, * * the data policy is equivalent to that of d4PDF. * **************************************************************** This TC track data is calcurated according to Murakami et al. (Clim. Dyn., 2012). http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00382-011-1223-x Settings for MRI-AGCM3.2H, YS scheme This data chases from TC generation to the disappearance (state unsatisfying TC criteria including extratropical cyclone conversion). Bias adjustment of maximum surface wind in Sugi et al. (Clim. Dyn., 2016, http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00382-017-3612-2) is NOT applied. An example of the track data name is xytrackk319b_HPB_m001_1951-2011.txt. "1951-2011" is the data period. "HPB" represents past experiments, and "m001" represents the ensemble member ID (from 001 to 100 in the HPB). Name of other experiments HFB_4K_??[type of sea surface temperature (SST) in 2 characters]: 4K warming experiment. "??" means the model name of the SST warming type. CC: CCSM4, GF: GFDL-CM3, HA: HadGEM-AO2, MI: MIROC5, MP: MPI-ESM-MR, MR: MRI-CGCM3 HFB_2K_??[same as 4K warming exp.]: 2K warming experiment. HPB_NAT: Non-warming experiment.
