Adjoint-derived optimal perturbations to the initial conditions for the WRF simulations in the journal article "Can Observation Targeting Be a Wild Goose Chase? An Adjoint-Sensitivity Study of the 15 November 2018 Forecast Bust" by Lloveras, Durran, and Doyle

Perturbations are in .npy file format. Open using Numpy's np.load() function. Array dimensions are (nz, ny, nx) = (44, 250, 400). Latitude and longitude coordinates and full pressure field included for reference.

lats.npy: latitude coordinates
lons.npy: longitude coordinates
p.npy: full control pressure field (hPa)
dp.npy: perturbation pressure (hPa)
dt.npy: perturbation potential temperature (K)
du.npy: perturbation zonal wind (m/s)
dv.npy: perturbation meridional wind (m/s)
dw.npy: perturbation vertical wind (m/s)
dqv.npy: perturbation water vapor mixing ratio (kg/kg)
