Dataset accompanying "Integrated nowcasting of convective precipitation with Transformer-based models using multi-source data"

<p>Dataset accompanying the article <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2409.10367" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Integrated nowcasting of convective precipitation with Transformer-based models using multi-source data</a>.&nbsp;</p> <p>Contains almost 8000 events that are sampled from the summer months (where convective precipitation events are most likely to occur) of 2019-2023, centred over Austria.</p> <p>Each sample has a temporal span of 4 hours with a spatial extent of 400 x 700 km, with following data streams:</p> <ul> <li>4 MSG infrared channels with central wavelengths of 6.2, 7.3, 8.7, and 10.8&nbsp;&mu;m</li> <li>Rain rates mosaicked from ground-based radar observations</li> <li>Lightning data from ground-based observations</li> <li>INCA precipitation analysis</li> <li>INCA convective available potential energy (CAPE) estimates</li> </ul> <p>The dataset is accompanied by elevation and coordinate information.&nbsp;</p> <p>Please refer to the manuscript and the <a href="https://github.com/caglarkucuk/earthformer-multisource-to-inca">GitHub repository</a> for further information and helper code for reading the data files.</p>
