{"Abstract":["This is software and data to support the manuscript "Variations in Tropical Cyclone Size and Rainfall Patterns based on Synoptic-Scale Moisture Environments in the North Atlantic," which we are submitting to the journal, Journal of Geophysical Research Atmospheres.The MIT license applies to all source code and scripts published in this dataset.The software includes all code that is necessary to follow and evaluate the work. Public datasets include (1) the Atlantic hurricane database HURDAT2 (https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/#hurdat), (2) NASA’s Global Precipitation Measurement IMERG final precipitation (https://catalog.data.gov/dataset/gpm-imerg-final-precipitation-l3-half-hourly-0-1-degree-x-0-1-degree-v07-gpm-3imerghh-at-g), (3) the Tropical Cyclone Extended Best Track Dataset (https://rammb2.cira.colostate.edu/research/tropical-cyclones/tc_extended_best_track_dataset/), (4) the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) atmospheric reanalysis (ERA5) (https://www.ecmwf.int/en/forecasts/datasets/reanalysis-datasets/era5), and (5) the Statistical Hurricane Intensity Prediction Scheme (SHIPS) dataset (https://rammb.cira.colostate.edu/research/tropical_cyclones/ships/data/). We are also including four datasets generated by the code that will be helpful in evaluating the work. Lastly, we used the eofs software package, a python package for computing empirical orthogonal functions (EOFs), available publicly here: https://doi.org/10.5334/jors.122.All figures and tables in the manuscript are generated using Python, ArcGIS Pro, and GraphPad/Prism 10 Software:ArcGIS Pro used to make Figures 5GraphPad/Prism 10 Software used to make box plots in Figures 6-9Python used to make Figures 1-4, 10-11, and Tables 1-5Public Datasets:HURDAT2: Landsea, C. and Beven, J., 2019: The revised Atlantic hurricane database (HURDAT2).
