Tornado database in China mainland from 2003 to 2019

According to the textual information provided by the Yearbook of Meteorological Disasters in China from 2003 to 2019 and other public media report data, tornadoes occurring in China mainland from 2003 to 2019 were collected in this dataset, which includes tornado occurrence time, geographical location in terms of longitude and latitude, geographical locations and damage descriptions of tornadoes from the Yearbook of Meteorological Disasters in China and intensities of tornadoes in terms of EF scale. The temporal extent of tornadoes in the dataset is from the period of 2003 to 2019. The spatial extent of tornadoes in the dataset is China mainland. The database help to get a more detailed insight into tornado climatology and provides a forward step towards the rational assessment of tornado-induced disasters in China mainland.<br>

本数据集基于2003至2019年《中国气象灾害年鉴》（Yearbook of Meteorological Disasters in China）及其他公开媒体报道数据，收集了2003至2019年中国大陆地区发生的龙卷风事件。数据集涵盖龙卷风发生时间、经纬度地理坐标、《中国气象灾害年鉴》记录的龙卷风发生地点与灾情描述，以及采用EF等级（EF scale）划分的龙卷风强度分级。本数据集的时间范围为2003至2019年，空间范围为中国大陆地区。该数据库有助于更细致地洞悉龙卷风气候学规律，并为中国大陆地区龙卷风致灾的科学合理评估提供了重要的先行基础。
