Abstract:
Atmospheric Rivers (ARs) are long and narrow bands of strong horizontal water vapour transport concentrated in the lower troposphere. ARs play an important role in producing some high-impact weather events such as extreme precipitation and flooding, damaging winds, and temperature anomalies. To facilitate various studies on the short- and long-term variability of ARs and their impacts, I compiled a multi-decade global dataset containing 12 relevant meteorological variables for AR analysis. These variables were derived from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts atmospheric reanalysis version 5 (ERA5). They are available at 6-hour intervals from 1940 to present. Also included in the dataset is an interactive web browser-based graphical tool for visualising the AR evolution on regional (North America) and global scales. This ERA5-based Dataset for Atmospheric River Analysis (EDARA) may serve as a valuable resource for many AR-related research and applications.
