Identification Algorithm for Cold Pool Gust Fronts in Weather Station Data From Equatorial Africa

Description

This archive contains (i) the source code of an algorithm for the identification of convective cold pool gust fronts in weather station data and (ii) near-surface and satellite data of 4218 cold pools that were identified in station data from equatorial Africa between January 1, 2019, and September 30, 2023, and validated based on satellite-derived brightness temperatues.
