NJIAS Himawari-8/9 Cloud Feature Dataset (HCFD)–TyWNP

The NJIAS HCFD–TyWNP provides a comprehensive description of cloud features within a 20° × 20° longitude-latitude grid box surrounding the center of west North Pacific typhoons. It includes 24 variables, such as cloud mask, type, top height, optical thickness, and particle effective radius, which were generated from the visible and infrared measurements of the Advanced Himawari Imager onboard the Japanese geostationary satellites Himawari-8/9, based on a series of cloud retrieval algorithms developed by Dr. Zhuge. The dataset covers the period from 2016 to 2023, with a temporal resolution of 30 min and a spatial resolution of 0.02°. The data are now distributed under CC BY 4.0 license.NJIAS HCFD–TyWNP数据集针对西北太平洋台风中心周边20°×20°经纬度网格内的云系特征提供了全面描述。该数据集包含24项变量，如云掩膜（cloud mask）、云类型、云顶高度、光学厚度（optical thickness）以及粒子有效半径（particle effective radius）等；这些变量基于诸葛博士开发的一系列云反演算法（cloud retrieval algorithms），由搭载于日本静止轨道卫星向日葵8号/9号（Himawari-8/9）的先进向日葵成像仪（Advanced Himawari Imager）的可见光与红外探测数据生成。数据集的时间覆盖范围为2016年至2023年，时间分辨率为30分钟，空间分辨率为0.02°。目前该数据集以CC BY 4.0许可协议进行分发。
