A dataset of thunderstorm features of the FY-2E full-disc observation area from 2010 to 2018

This thunderstorm feature dataset (TFD) was established by the black body temperature (TBB) product and the cloud classification (CLC) product provided by the Fengyun-2E (FY-2E) satellite and the lightning location data from the World-Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN). Thunderstorm cloud is determined as at least one WWLLN lightning is in the area with TBB ≤ −­32°C or its fitted ellipse. The parameters including time, location, structure and lightning activities are obtained to form the TFD. The time range of this dataset is from 2010 to 2018, with a temporal resolution of 1h and wide spatial coverage, which can cover the mainland and adjacent sea areas of China. This TFD can play an important role in the study of thunderstorm activities.
