title: Precipitation, low-level jet, and geopotential height data for analyzing sources of predictability in the US northern Great Plains

description: Dec 15, 2021 <strong>Precipitation, low-level jet, and geopotential height data for analyzing sources of predictability in the US northern Great Plains</strong> Carlos M. Carrillo and Francisco Muñoz-Arriola <strong>Motivation</strong> The data presented here was used to investigate the uskills of precipitation in the US northern Great Plains, and it can be cited as described below. The original data for producing this data is from the Climate Forecast System (CFS) retrospective reanalysis and reforecast as well as precipitation data from the Climate Prediction Center (CPC) from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Also, gridded data is from the North American Regional Reanalysis (NARR) from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP). <strong>License </strong> Creative Commons CC-BY <strong>Disclaimer</strong> The data provided in the files is provided as is.
