ERA5 Daily Wind Velocity and Pressure Anomalies for Mexico, 1940-2024

1940 to 2024 daily reanalysis data of mean sea level pressure anomalies and 100m wind velocity components for Mexico and surrounding regions. This dataset supports the reproducibility of research on large-scale weather patterns and the Mexican wind power system. It was authored by Victor M. Peñaranda-Vélez and hosted on the Harvard Dataverse.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the influence of large-scale weather patterns on wind field variability based on the daily pressure and wind velocity data.
• Validating conclusions from wind power system research using the provided reanalysis datasets.
• Conducting extended climate trend analysis for the region based on the 84-year temporal coverage.
• Reproducing research findings on the relationship between atmospheric pressure anomalies and wind velocity.

Strengths

• Data spans an 84-year period from 1940 to 2024, providing a long-term climate record.
• Includes three distinct, complementary datasets for pressure anomalies and both zonal and meridional wind components.
• Explicitly created to support research reproducibility for a specific scientific paper.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
