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

Dataset accompanying the article Integrated nowcasting of convective precipitation with Transformer-based models using multi-source data. 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. Each sample has a temporal span of 4 hours with a spatial extent of 400 x 700 km, with following data streams: 4 MSG infrared channels with central wavelengths of 6.2, 7.3, 8.7, and 10.8 μm Rain rates mosaicked from ground-based radar observations Lightning data from ground-based observations INCA precipitation analysis INCA convective available potential energy (CAPE) estimates The dataset is accompanied by elevation and coordinate information.
