Marine Heatwave Tracking with Ocetrac and OISST

These netCDF files contain the preprocessed NOAA OISST v2.1 data and corresponding Ocetrac labels. The preprocessed data (preprocessed_oisst_mhw_stats.nc) contains global maps of monthly sea surface temperature decomposed into the mean, trend, seasonal cycle, and remaining variability. Summary statistics of marine heatwave events are provided and include the mean event duration, total count, and mean event intensity. These statistics are computed with the monthly OISST anomalies between 09-1981 and 06-2021. The resulting labeled marine heatwaves identified using Ocetrac and are contained in ocetrac_labels.nc
