Columns

Name	Unit	Displayed	Description
timestamp		✓	datetime
detected_id			Vortex ID that matches the detection rule.
ID			Vortex ID at the corresponding time. If a split occurs, the detected_id may not match the detected_id.
lat	deg	✓	Latitude
lon	deg	✓	Longitude
val	m		Geopotential height at the center of the vortex
So	m (100 km)^-1	✓	Optimal slope
ro	km	✓	Optimal radius
Do	m		Optimal depth
Sb	m (100 km)^-1	✓	Intensity of background slope (S_BG)
ang	rad	✓	Direction of S_BG
m	m (100 km)^-1		Eastward component of S_BG
n	m (100 km)^-1		Northward component of S_BG
SR		✓	Ratio of intensity of background slope (S_BG) to optimal slope (S_o) (S_BG/S_o)
ex		✓	COL flag 0: trough 1: COL
Merge			Merge Log 0: None -1: Vortex dissipated -2: Merged from another -3: Present at the end of analysis Vortex ID: Merged into the corresponding vortex and dissipated
Split			Split Log 0: None -1: Vortex generated -2: Split into another -3: Present at the start of analysis Vortex ID: Formed by splitting from the corresponding vortex
generation			Generation Number Set to 1 at the initial analysis time (FT = 0) and incremented when a different vortex ID is encountered as time is traced backward.
