Below you will find two sets of data in different formats. The first contains our full dataset and the second contains a simplified dataset which contains less information. The formats are described below:

Full Dataset

The full dataset is split into multiple files. Use mha/load_mha.m from our git repository to load the data into MATLAB. Inside, you will find the following:

mhaInfo
Metadata from MHA
startDate
The date at which the scan started
fileCount
The number of files the data was split into (used to load the data)
tracks
The eddy tracks found by MHA (described in detail below)
tracks contains a struct-array, where each struct has the following fields:
StartDate
Date at which the track started
StartIndex
Would be the index into a dates array where the start date has a value of 1
Length
Length (in weeks) that the eddy persisted
Eddies
Struct-array of eddies discovered during scanning which were connected into a track
The Eddies array contains latitude, longitude, surface area, mean geostrophic speed, and other data.

Simplified Dataset

The simplified dataset consists of a cell-array of numerical arrays which follow the following format:

lat | lon | date | surface area | amplitude | radius | mean geostrophic speed
