Repository relating to the final chapter of my Ph.D. work using the PNNL WRF run to understand environments where storms grow upscale (organize into larger systems) in Central Argentina. This chapter expands upon and confirms conclusions from case studies of observed upscale growth.
Note: data is not in respository
Variables:
- height
- pressure
- temp
- relative humidity
- wind speed
- wind direction
- u wind
- v wind
Stats files: mcs_tracks_pf_20181015_20190430.nc, robust_mcs_tracks_20181015_20190430.nc
Variables:
- datetimestring (MCS tracked times, 0 time index for MCS initiation)
- meanlon (center latitude, 0 time index for MCS initiation)
- meanlat (center longitude, 0 time index for MCS initiation)
- starttrackresult (MCS start type, 10 is new tracked MCS)
- length (MCS duration)
- majoraxislength (time index 1 minus time index 0 to get axis growth)
- css_area (Area of cold cloud shield)
