North America Extratropical Cyclone (NAEC) Catalogue
- Description:
- The NAEC catalogue comprises information on extratropical cyclone (ETC) tracks in North America (20–80 N and 180-0W) from January 1979 to December 2020. The source data used to produce this dataset is obtained from the ECMWF ERA5 reanalysis at 1-hour spatial resolution and 0.25x0.25 degree spatial resolution. In addition to the location, time, and intensity, this dataset also includes ETC-associated impact variables such as the near-surface wind speed, wind gust, and precipitation, averaged using different radii around the ETC center. Both absolute and relative (to the local climatology) measures are provided. This catalogue provides useful information for the assessment of ETC-induced impacts over North America.
