Northern Hemisphere Lamb Weather Types from historical GCM experiments and various reanalyses

This dataset contains 6-hourly instantaneous discrete Lamb circulation type time series (Lamb 1972) on a 2.5 degrees longitude-latitude grid covering the northern hemisphere extratropics between 30ºN and 70ºN for the period 1979-2005 or longer. These "Lamb catalogues" were calculated upon SLP data from the historical experiments run with 61 distinct GCMs participating in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phases 5 and 6, and also from three distinct reanalyses (ERA5 extended to 2020 from version 5 onwards, ERA-Interim and JRA-55). For 13 out of the aforementioned 61 GCMs, 72 additional runs are provided to explore the role of internal model variability.

CAUTION: When unpacked, this dataset occupies 110 GB of your local disk space. Update information: Version 2 of this archive includes the model_source_attributes.txt file containing the "source" attributes stored in the netCDF files obtained from ESGF. This attribute provides details about the individual component models within the coupled model configurations used in CMIP5 and 6. Version 3 of this archive includes 10 new GCMs, two additional runs for CNRM-CM6-1 and an updated version of model_source_attributes.txt Version 3.1 includes README.txt, which explains the content of the files located in the tar.gz file. Version 4 further includes Lamb Weather Type catalogues for the ERA5 reanalysis and 4 additional GCMs. All files have been compressed individually. The file is depreciated and no longer updated. It is replaced by the Python function available from https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4555367. This function contains an exhaustive metadata archive of the 60 GCMs considered here. Version 4.1 The LWT catalogue for CMCC-CM2-HR4 is included for consistency with the respective Southern Hemisphere dataset published at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7612987 Version 5 is a major dataset update featuring the following improvements: 1. The attributes from the netCDF source files "psl...nc" obtained from ESGF were copied into the files available here. These attributes are indicated with the prefix "udata...." (for "underlying data"). 2. All non-standard calenders from the underlying netCDF files from ESGF were converted into standard using the "xarray.Dataset.convert_calendar" function. The original calendar information was stored as additional netCDF attribute. 3. The "patch" method from Python's xesmf module was used to regrid the original psl data from the native GCM grid available from ESGF to the regular lat-lon 2.5° grid common to all applied GCMs and reanalyses. contact: Swen Brands, brandssf@ifca.unican.es Principal Research Articles, Software and Complementary Datasets Associated with this Dataset Brands, S.
