Status: In progress
Type: Object identification Algorithm

Metric description

A simple closed contour object identification scheme has been applied to the zonal mean monthly mean zonal wind fields from nine global reanalysis data sets for 31 years of the satellite era (1979–2009) to identify objects corresponding to westerly jet streams.
