Objective African Easterly Tracks in Reanalysis Data using "QTrack"

Objective track data for African Easterly Waves in reanalysis data (ERA5 and MERRA2) through 2023. Waves are tracked from June 1st through October 31st of each year. These tracks are produced using QTrack, following the method described in Lawton et al. (2022). AEW Track data is updated on a yearly basis, typically in January of the following year.
