A rainstorm dataset in China during 2001-2019

This rainstorm dataset is extracted from a long time series (January 2001 to December 2019) of Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) product. According to the rainstorm threshold defined by the China Meteorological Administration, rainstorm events are extracted from time series GPM data using Python programming. The dataset covers the whole China with a spatial resolution of 0.1°×0.1°. Derived from long-term sequence of satellite precipitation products, with high-precision and high-resolution, this rainstorm dataset is able to reflect the spatial distribution characteristics of extreme precipitation in China.

Understanding the temporal and spatial characteristics of rainstorms across the country can be helpful for preventing and alleviating disasters. This dataset provides important support for the development of social economy and ecological environment. It is of important theoretical and practical application value.
