Cyclone tracks from 1901 to 2010 in dynamically downscaled ERA-20C reanalysis (COSMO-CLM+NEMO)

<p>The database contains two files: one with all cyclone trajectories from 1901 to 2010, and another one only with the so-called Vb-cyclones that propagate from the Mediterranean Sea north-eastward to Central Europe.</p> <p>We detected the cyclone trajectories with the method of Wernli and Schwierz (2006) and Sprenger et al. (2017) and classified all cyclone trajectories that crossed the 47&deg;N latitude between 12&deg;E and 22&deg;E as Vb-cyclones following Hofst&auml;tter and Bl&ouml;schl (2019). The cyclone tracking was based on mean sea level pressure data of dynamically downscaled ERA-20C reanalysis. The downscaling was performed over Europe [including MED-CORDEX (Somot et al. 2018) and EURO-CORDEX (Giorgi et al. 2009)] from 1901 to 2010 with an interactively coupled high-resolution atmosphere-ocean model (COSMO-CLM+NEMO) by Cristina Primo. More details on the data basis can be found in Primo et al. (2019) and Krug et al. (2020).</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Giorgi, F., Jones, C. &amp; Asrar, G.
