Leo Szilard Papers
Leo Szilard is best known for his pioneering work in nuclear physics, his participation in the Manhattan Project during World War II, and his opposition to the nuclear arms race in the postwar era. The papers document Szilard's work on the atomic bomb and his efforts on behalf of arms control and world cooperation through his correspondence, writings, and audio-visual recordings. The majority of the Leo Szilard Papers, held by the UC San Diego Library, have been digitized.

Data from: Effect of atmospheric forcing resolution on simulated mixed layer depth in the North Pacific
This dataset contains daily output from two numerical simulations in the North Pacific domain, using the 0.1 degree Parallel Ocean Program (POP) model in the Community Climate System Model 4 framework. The atmospheric forcing in the first simulation is taken from a 0.6 degree resolution Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) simulation, and the forcing in the second simulation is the low-pass filtered forcing used in the first experiment. Therefore, these two simulations would be valuable for potential studies evaluating the role of mesoscale atmospheric forcing on the physical state of the ocean (e.g. circulation, sea surface height and mixed layer …
