Processed data for the manuscript, entitled "Substantial increase in heavy precipitation events preceded by moist heatwaves over China during 1961–2019"

This is the dataset on annual frequency of heatwaves, heavy precipitation, and heatwave-heavy precipitation events during 1961-2019 at 1776 stations across China. This dataset is the processed results based on daily observations that are provided by the National Meteorological Science Data Center (http://data.cma.cn/en). In this processed dataset, the "HW_HI" column is the annual frequency of heat-index-based heatwaves; "HW_TW" column is the annual frequency of wet-bulb temperature based heatwaves; "HP" is the annual frequency of heavy precipitation with taking the 95th percentile of non-zero precipitation at the threshold. "HWHP_HI"/"HWHP_TW" column indicate annual frequency of heavy precipitation preceded by HW_HI/HW_TW. All the results shown in the manuscript entitled "Substantial increase in heavy precipitation events preceded by moist heatwaves over China during 1961–2019", are obtained based on this processed dataset.
