These data represent a self-organizing map (SOM) classification of all trans-Atlantic integrated dust fluxes (IDT) between June-July 1981-2020 as presented in: Miller, P. W., and C. Ramseyer, In press: The relationship between the Saharan Air Layer, convective environmental conditions, and precipitation in Puerto Rico. Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres. Each daily IDT field is paired to one of 12 discrete pathways in idt_bmus_junjul.csv. The mean composite IDT over the tropical North Atlantic for each of these 12 patterns, as well as the mean composite Galvez-Davison Index (ERS_idt_node_gdi_1981_2020_junjul.nc) and mean composite precipitation over Puerto Rico (ERS_idt_node_prcp_1981_2020_junjul.nc) for the same node-date pairings are also provided. See the above-referenced manuscript for more details. ...
