Description

This dataset includes the tridimensional modeled temperature and associated research data that support the results of the article "Comprehensive characterization of Marine Heatwaves in a coastal Northern Humboldt Current System regional model over recent decades".

Specifically, it consists of three files (NetCDF format):
i) Northern_MHWs.nc, this file contains the daily modeled temperature (from 2000 to 2019) within the northern domain of analysis (3-8°S) within the 250 km nearshore band for each vertical layer ranging from 0 to 250m depth. In addition, daily snapshots of MHW intensity are also included by depth.
ii) Central_MHWs.mat, similar to the previous file, but for the central domain of analysis, from 8 to 13°S.
iii) Southern_MHWs.mat, similar to the previous file, but for the southern domain of analysis, from 13 to 18°S.
