Abstract:

This dataset represents a suite of climate diagnostics for 56 variables relating to the interannual variability of ECMWF ERA5 monthly mean data. Basic fields for each of these variables include a monthly mean climatology and standard deviation, corresponding anomalies spanning 40 or more years of data, empirical orthogonal functions (EOFs), principal component (PC) time series, percent variance explained by each EOF, and an estimate of the standard error of the percent variance explained. Dominant modes of variability include El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in sea surface temperature, and the Antarctic Oscillation (AO) and North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) in surface pressure. Separate analyses are performed for the entire globe, northern hemisphere only, and southern hemisphere only. There is sufficient information to further explore lagged correlations, teleconnections, and more advanced statistical techniques. Preparation and calculation of this dataset is performed by CISL DECS at NCAR.

Citation counts are compiled through information provided by publicly-accessible APIs according to the guidelines developed through the https://makedatacount.org/ project. If journals do not provide citation information to these publicly-accessible services, then this citation information will not be included in RDA citation counts. Additionally citations that include dataset DOIs are the only types included in these counts, so legacy citations without DOIs, references found in publication acknowledgements, or references to a related publication that describes a dataset will not be included in these counts.
