Southeast US Urban Convective Morphological Statistical Tests

Dataset to accompany the publication "Weakly Forced Thunderstorms in the Southeast U.S. are Stronger Near Urban Areas" in <em>Geophysical Research Letters</em> by Paul Miller and Neil Debbage. The file contains the urban versus non-urban mean values for 31 cities in the Southeast US for the following variables: initiation time (decimal hours since 1200 UTC), duration (min), total lifetime thunderstorm pixels, maximum composite reflectivity (dBZ), maximum number of thunderstorm pixels during any single volume scan, maximum pixel ratio. T statistics and p values for the urban vs non-urban t-tests are also provided. More information can be found in the associated manuscript.
