Tropical Cyclone PRecipitation, Infrared, Microwave, and Environmental Dataset (TC PRIMED)
The central components of this dataset are satellite passive microwave observations centered on tropical cyclones from imagers such as AMSR2, AMSR-E, AMSU-B, ATMS, GMI, MHS, SSM/I, SSMIS, and TMI. These observations include 1) multi-channel microwave brightness temperatures inter-calibrated across all the available imagers using GMI and 2) outputs from NASA's Goddard Profiling Algorithm such as retrieved surface precipitation rate, convective precipitation rate, vertical profiles of rain water and snow water content, and vertically-integrated ice water content. When available, infrared brightness temperatures closest to, but within 3 hours of, the overpass time will be included. In addition, precipitation radar fields such as vertical profiles of reflectivity, surface precipitation rate, and precipitation type will be included along with GMI and TMI observations, when available. Only satellite overpasses with at least 50% coverage within 750 km radius of the storm from 3 hours prior to the storm's formation to 3 hours after the storm's decay are included in this dataset. Parallel to the satellite passive microwave observations, 1) tropical cyclone best-track information, 2) ECMWF ERA5 reanalysis fields within 20 degree latitude and longitude of the storm center, and 3) derived environmental diagnostics at each synoptic time are also available for each storm.
