Southern Hemisphere Lamb Weather Types from historical GCM experiments and various reanalyses [version 1.0]

Abstract: This dataset comprises six-hourly Lamb Weather Type (LWT) time series covering the period 1979-2005 for a) historical experiments run with 61 distinct GCMs from CMIP5 and 6 (specified in "get_historical_metadata.py" published at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4555367) and b) 3 distinct reanalyses (ERA-Interim, JRA-55 and ERA5, the latter extended to 2020). The LWT time series are provided on a 2.5º regular latitude-longitude grid covering the southern hemisphere between 30ºS and 70ºS. The full LWT approach covering 27 classes is applied and the corresponding results for the Northern Hemisphere were stored in a companion dataset at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4452080. The format of the files is netCDF-4, compressed with the netCDF Kitchen Sink command "ncks -4 -L 1". The Python code used to generate this dataset is available from https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4555367
