A 20-year database of MCSs in eastern China

This database contains the mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) identified and investigated in the manuscript (2022JD036523) submitted to the Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres (Cheng et al. 2022). It covers MCSs over eastern China (20-42N, 95-125E) during the eight monsoon stages in 2001-2020. The zipped data are in netCDF format, each contains the brightness temperature (lon, lat, time) of an MCS event. The time attribute shows minutes since 2001-01-01 00:00. The lon lat attributes are in degrees at the 4-km resolution.
