A comparison of different station data on revealing the characteristics of extreme hourly precipitation over complex terrain: the case of Zhejiang, China

Station data is the most common and reliable data for studying the characteristics of precipitation in China. There are two main types of station data available, i.e., national station data with long time series but sparse and regional stations with short time series but numerous. However, few studies have compared the differences between these two types of data for revealing the characteristics of extreme hourly precipitation. In this study, the possible impact of different datasets for revealing the characteristics of extreme hourly precipitation under four weather types are investigated in Zhejiang Province. Here, we share the data used in our research. The relevant research results have been submitted to the Journal of Earth and Space Science recently.
