Description
Summary:Dataset abstract This dataset contains 10-day backward trajectories along the ship track of the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition from Nov 2016 – April 2017 calculated with the Lagrangian analysis tool LAGRANTO using the 3D-wind fields from the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) operational analysis data. The trajectories were started from up to 56 vertical levels between 0 and 500 hPa a.s.l. and various variables were interpolated along the trajectories. Dataset contents trajs_ACE.zip: lsl_${year}${month}${day}_${hour}, trajectory files (containing all trajectories starting at ${year}${month}${day} ${hour}UTC at the ACE track from different vertical levels), comma-separated values fig_map.zip: map_long10_${year}${month}${day}_${hour}.png, map plots of all trajectories starting at ${year}${month}${day} ${hour}UTC coloured by pressure, portable network graphics fig_cross.zip: cross10_q_${year}${month}${day}_${hour}.png, cross-section plots of all trajectories starting at ... : The Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition was made possible by funding from the Swiss Polar Institute and Ferring Pharmaceuticals. The authors acknowledge MeteoSwiss and ECMWF for the access to the ECMWF operational analyses and forecasts. ...
