The Finite-Volume Cubed-Sphere Dynamical Core (FV3) dataset version 1.0 contains hourly gridded atmospheric variables over the globe, spanning 24 August 2017 through 26 August 2017. The dataset includes gridded fields of horizontal wind at select levels (700 hPa, 300 hPa, and 100 hPa) and brightness temperature from several runs of the model at 3km, 6km, and 13km grid spacing. The Community Radiative Transfer Model (CRTM), version 2.3.0, was employed to translate model state variables into simulated brightness temperature corresponding to channel 8 of GOES-16. This dataset is useful for studies of atmospheric energetics and specra, predictability, convection, and Hurricane Harvey. 

This dataset is downloadable as netCDF files, and is documented in a companion paper: Fan, D., S. J. Greybush, X. Chen, Y. Lu, G. S. Young, and F. Zhang, 2021: Exploring The Role Of Moist Convection In The Atmospheric -5/3 Energy Spectra Using Global High-resolution Non-hydrostatic Simulations And The New-generation Geostationary Satellite Observations.

The two folders in this dataset are the two simulated variables mainly analyzed in the paper: horizontal winds and brightness temperature (BT). In the subdirectories, 13-, 6-, and 3-km represents the grid spacing of the simulation. CH8 represents channel 8 BT. Nohydro represents the BTs were computed by removing all the hydrometeors when translating model state variables into simulated BT. Deep and nodeep represents the simulations with/without deep convective parameterization. 100-, 300-, and 700-hPa represents winds at different pressure levels respectively. The files of horizontal winds are named as Harvey_%(wind direction:U or V)_%(pressure level: 100, 300, or 700)hPa_%(simulation hour since 201708241200: like 1, 6, 25).nc. The files of BTs are named as Harvey_FV3_BT_%(simulation hour: like 1, 6, 25)_origin.nc.
