A Wave-Relative Framework Analysis of AEW–MCS Interactions Leading to Tropical Cyclogenesis (Monthly Weather Review, Núñez Ocasio et al. 2020) An African easterly wave and associated MCSs dataset has been created and used to evaluate the propagation of MCSs, AEWs, and especially, the propagation of MCSs relative to the AEW they are associated with (i.e., wave-relative framework). The thermodynamic characteristics of AEW-MCS systems are also analyzed. The analysis is done for both AEW-MCS systems that develop into at least a tropical depression and those that do not to quantify significant differences between waves that undergo tropical cyclogenesis (DAEW) and those that do not (NDAEW). |

Validity of *ONET Work Importance Profile for Spanish speaking populations Data represents the test results for the web version of *ONET Work Importance Profile for Spanish speaking populations. High school and college students from Guatemala took the test in the presence of a career development professional. This test uses the same database from *ONET Career Exploration Tools from the US Department of Labor. |

Trophic Mismatch: Caribou Phenology. This data from Dr. Eric Post, Department of Biology, records the near daily ratio of caribou calve to adult females at a caribou calving ground located in SW Greenland. Data include the proportion of calves observed relative to the total population of observed caribou on that day for each corresponding year. |
