Model output used to produce the graphics of the manuscript Caldas-Alvarez and Khodayar (2020). Observational data are not included as they have been obtained from other institutions. The model output used to produce each graph is labeled "Fig_number_subnumber". The data is readable using MATLAB (files of the format .mat and .nc) and any program able to work with NetCDF data (ncview, ncl, cdo, etc.) for the *.nc files. In the nomenclature, there are 4 simulation types (CTRL-7, NDG-7, CTRL-2.8 and NDG-2.8). The numbers account for the horizontal resolution of the model (7 km or 2.8 km). At times these might also be referred to as EU (for the 7 km) and DE (for the 2.8 km). CTRL refers to the reference runs and the runs including the nudging (see Caldas-Alvarez and Khodayar, 2020) are indistinctly referred to as NDG or AS.
