Dataset: Physical indicators of winter climate variability (coastal upwelling, sea level, precipitation) influenced by the winter North Pacific High (CalBenJI project)

Physical indicators of winter climate variability (coastal upwelling, sea level, precipitation) influenced by the winter North Pacific High. The data are all anomalies (normalized to a mean of 0 and std dev of 1) and thus have no units.

Data include:
North Pacific High: Mean Jan-Mar Hadley Centre HadSLP2 sea level pressure anomaly for the region 25N and 35N by 145W and 125W. Data were acquired through: http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/hadobs/hadslp2/

River Discharge: Water year discharge (Oct 1-Sep 30) anomaly for seven rivers, and the mean of these anomalies. Data acquired from the United States Geological Survey https://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis/rt

Sea Level: Winter (Jan-Mar) anomaly of sea level at five locations along the west coast of North America as well as their mean. All linear trends have been removed. Sea level data were acquired from the University of Hawaii Sea Level Center. http://uhslc.soest.hawaii.edu/

Upwelling: Winter (Jan-Mar) upwelling anomaly for eight upwelling stations (30N, 33N, 36N, 39N, 42N, 45N, 48N, 51N) along the west coast of North America as well as their mean. Upwelling data were acquired from the NOAA Pacific Fisheries Environmental Laboratory. https://www.pfeg.noaa.gov/products/PFEL/modeled/indices/upwelling/NA/upwell_menu_NA.html

Precipitation: Winter (Jan-Mar) precipitation anomaly for thirteen NOAA climate divisions in western North America, as well as their mean. Precipitation data were acquired from the NOAA Climatic Data Center https://www7.ncdc.noaa.gov/CDO/CDODivisionalSelect.jsp
