Here is the dataset of the reconstructed winds in binary format. A ctl file
is also included for instructing the detailed information on the domain, resolution and
reading. To open the compressed file, use the command under unix/linux of "gunzip" and
then "tar -xvf wind.tar". For consistency, we also include the surface winds from 1948-2005
in this dataset, which are directly obtained from NCEP/NCAR reanalysis dataset. This file
contains both the zonal and meridional winds. Please click
here for free download. Thank you.
Here is the heat contact analysis dataset in matlab format. A ctl file and a matlab file are also included
for instructing the detailed information on the domain, resolution and reading.
Use the same steps as the above to open the compressed file. Please click
