GRL_data_2026GL124475: Model Output for Tropical Pacific Heat Budget and SST Variability

Model simulation output and code submitted to Geophysical Research Letters (2026GL124475) by Qiaojun Chen. The data, published on 2026-05-22, investigates how Tropical Instability Waves affect the equatorial Pacific heat budget and interannual sea surface temperature variability in 2024. The dataset is 549.6 MB and is available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the impact of Tropical Instability Waves on ocean heat content based on the described model simulations.
• Studying interannual sea surface temperature variability in the equatorial Pacific based on the 2024 case study.
• Validating or comparing ocean model physics related to heat budget processes.
• Reproducing the findings of the associated Geophysical Research Letters submission using the provided code and data.

Strengths

• Dataset is associated with a peer-reviewed submission to Geophysical Research Letters (2026GL124475).
• Includes both model output data and the computer code used for simulation, supporting reproducibility.
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing for broad reuse.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for specific modeling tasks.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data structure and quality require manual inspection.
