20.500.12556/RUL-167811 A dataset of tracked mesoscale precipitation systems in the tropics Mesoscale Convective Systems (MCSs) are often quantified via surface-basedradar network, geostationary satellite, or low earth orbit satellite observations.However, each of these has drawbacks for detecting cloud systems such as alack of global coverage, a lack of variables to quantify deep convective cloudand precipitation properties, and a lack of continuous observations of individualMCSs, respectively. To generate a dataset of tropical Tracked IMERG MesoscalePrecipitation Systems (TIMPS), we use the Forward in Time tracking algorithmto track precipitation systems in the Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for theGlobal Precipitation Mission (IMERG). IMERG is a global gridded precipitationproduct that incorporates observations from a constellation of satellites with pas-sive microwave sensors and other sources, allowing the TIMPS dataset to havecontinuous temporal precipitation information for MCSs in a global tropical stripwith data every 30 min in time and 0.1° in space. TIMPS are provided in a pub-licly available data base with a variety of variables including MCS size, motion,and precipitation properties, estimations of MCS life cycle stages, and their prox-imity to the nearest tropical cyclone. By combining the TIMPS dataset with theUniversity of Washington Convective Features database, we also provide snap-shots of information from more spatially detailed space-borne radar coverage.The TIMPS dataset provides the means for detailed long-term and large- scalestudy of MCSs in all regions of the tropics with applications such as compositestudies of MCS life cycles and the evaluation of model performance. meteorology precipitation convection meteorologija padavine konvekcija true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-03-13 10:16:32 2025-03-13 10:16:33 2025-03-14 03:56:02 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 15 str. iss. 2 Vol. 12 Apr. 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 551.515 2049-6060 10.1002/gdj3.275 220873475 Geoscience_Data_Journal_-_2024_-_Russell_-_A_dataset_of_tracked_mesoscale_precipitation_systems_in_the_tropics.pdf Geoscience_Data_Journal_-_2024_-_Russell_-_A_dataset_of_tracked_mesoscale_precipitation_systems_in_the_tropics.pdf 1 0CAE2F5641B911918842E7ABEAC33F17 ff6b4e35bb4d6be98461ed6643aaad1681b6a074758b20244f94aa17f029477b 35a056aa-ffeb-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=200604 https://rmets.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/gdj3.275 0 3c6f6b7b-ffeb-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=200605 Fakulteta za matematiko in fiziko 0 0 0
