Global CDHE Event Catalogue (0.1°, 1961–2023)

CDHE Event Catalogue (1961–2023) This dataset provides a gridded Compound Dry–Hot Extreme (CDHE) event catalogue derived from daily SSTCI, stored in MATLAB .mat format. Data contents The .mat file contains: CDHE — a cell array of size 1500 × 3600 Each cell CDHE{i,j} corresponds to one grid cell at: latitude lat(i) longitude lon(j) Each cell contains either: an event matrix with n events × 10 attributes, or an empty array [] if no events are detected at that grid cell. lat — latitude vector (length 1500) lon — longitude vector (length 3600) Event matrix structure (per grid cell) For a grid cell with n detected events, CDHE{i,j} is an n × 10 matrix with columns: Serial number Duration Severity Marginal severity Start year Start month Start day End year End month End day Notes The catalogue is event-based (one row per event), organized by grid cell. Missing or non-applicable grid cells are represented by empty cells ([]) in CDHE.
