A 20-year database of MCSs in eastern China

<p>This dataset&nbsp;contains the mesoscale convective systems (MCSs)&nbsp;over eastern China (20-42N, 95-125E) during the eight monsoon stages from 2001 to 2020.</p><p>The zipped data are in netCDF format, each contains the brightness temperature (lon, lat, time) of an individual MCS event (numXXX). Note that</p><ul><li>The time attribute shows "minutes since 2001-01-01 00:00"</li><li>The lon, lat attributes are in degrees at the 4-km resolution</li></ul><p>For inquiries or potential collaborations, feel free to contact Dr. Tat Fan Cheng (<a href="mailto:franklin.cheng@ust.hk">franklin.cheng@ust.hk</a>) or Prof. Mengqian Lu (<a href="mailto:cemlu@ust.hk">cemlu@ust.hk</a>).</p><p>If you find our dataset/analyses useful, please cite our recent paper (Thank you!).</p><p>Cheng, T.
