Description

This dataset contains prestorm atmospheric dynamical variables of 30 minutes before rainfall onset in summer (June ~ August) for the period 2018–2019, which is determined by the measurements from the triangular mesonet of radar wind profile in Beijing. Each data file is stored in CSV format, containing the triangle area averaged divergence, vertical velocity and vorticity at 400、450、500、550, 600, 650, 700, 750, 775, 800, 825, 850, 875 and 900 hPa levels. The name for each data is formatted as RWP_YYYY_NNN hPa_Lead-MM min.csv, where YYYY refers to 2018 and 2019, NNN refers to 400、450、500、550, 600, 650, 700, 750, 775, 800, 825, 850, 875 and 900 hPa, and MM refers to 12, 18, 24, 30, 36 and 42 minutes prior to rainfall onset.
