Description

This repository contains the SEWA-MHWs dataset, which consists in daily fields of marine heatwaves (MHWs) macro events and their characteristics over Southern Europe and Western Asia. The SEWA-MHWs dataset is derived from the European Space Agency (ESA) Climate Change Initiative (CCI) Sea Surface Temperature (SST) v2 dataset and it covers the 1981-2016 period. This dataset is presented and described in details in the "Southern Europe and Western Asia Marine Heat Waves (SEWA-MHWs): a dataset based on macro events" manuscript by Giulia Bonino, Simona Masina, Giuliano Galimberti and Matteo Moretti submitted to Earth System Science Data journal. 

This repository contains:

A) SEWA_labels.nc: daily fields of labels. Each unique label  represents a macro event. 

Moreover, we extracted for all the grid points belonging to a given macro event, the MHWs characteristics and we obtained daily fields of MHWs characteristics: 

B) SEWA_IndStart.nc: daily fields of MHWs index start.

C) SEWA_IndPeak.nc: daily fields of MHWs index peak.

D) SEWA_IndEND.nc: daily fields of MHWs  index end.

E) SEWA_Category.nc: daily fields of MHWs categories.

F) SEWA_IntMAx.nc: daily fields of MHWs maximum intensity.

G) SEWA_IntMean.nc: daily fields of MHWs mean intensity.

Notes

This research has been funded by the European Space Agency (ESA) as part of the FEVERSEA Climate Change Initiative (CCI) fellowship (ESA ESRIN/Contract No. 4000133282/20/I/NB).
