A global hybrid tropical cyclone risk model based upon statistical and coupled climate models - Supporting figures and data

Introduction

This contribution consists of 1) supporting figures and 2) supporting data for the submitted manuscript "A Global Hybrid Tropical Cyclone Risk Model based upon Statistical and Coupled Climate Models." Supporting figures are presented in two interactive HTML documents. The supporting datasets contain tropical cyclone event sets, catalogs, and an example analysis that plots summaries of the simulated catalogs and compares them to historical observations. All files are provided for the 400 ensemble members (event sets) that represent climate model years 1981-2020 (40 years) from the first 10 CESM-LE members.

Contents

./Catalog/sim_650

Tropical cyclone annual catalog for each basin based on the CESM-LE distribution of ENSO phases. 650 simulations are provided for each of 400 event sets. Each file contains the catalog for a single basin and is written as catalog_tc_(BASIN)_sim650_my400_nbinom_condmeanensojma.csv., where BASIN can be NA, EP, WP, NI, SI, SP.

./Documentation

TCMODEL_UQAM_EXAMPLE.html: Analysis script showing example of use of the tropical cyclone catalogs and comparison to historical observations.

UQAM_TC_Model_Data_Supplement_Dictionary.xlsx: Data dictionary of all data supplement file contents.

./IBTRACS

Summary of IBTrACS data required in the analysis script.

./TrajectoryBanks

Contains subdirectories for each basin (EP, NAT, NI, SI, SP, WP)

Each subdirectory contains several files summarizing the event sets, or banks, of tropical cyclone trajectories.
