dc.description.abstract | This database includes four Tropical cyclone (TC) landfall datasets produced using the Regional Specialized Meteorological Center of Tokyo (TOKYO), China Meteorological Administration (CMA), Hong Kong Observatory (HKO), and Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) best track datasets. The database was used to investigate a 50-yr TC landfalling climatology in Southeast Asia (1970-2019). These datasets are at 30-min temporal and 0.25-degree spatial resolutions and stored in the Matlab ".m" file format. The column variable description of each dataset is as below. 1) id: Tropical cyclone identifier 2) name: Tropical cyclone name 3) syear: Forming year 4) obs: Time provided in Universal Time Coordinates (UTC). Format is YYYY-MM-DD_HH:mm:ss 5) lat: Latitude 6) lon: Longitude 7) v: Maximum wind speed (converted to 1-min wind speed in case the dataset is CMA, HKO, TOKYO) 8) hit_lat: Latitude of landfall 9) hit_lon: Longitude of landfall 10) hit_v: Intensity at landfall (defined by maximum wind speed converted to 1-min in case the dataset is CMA, HKO, TOKYO) 11) v_orig: Maximum wind speed provided by an agency 12) hit_v_orig: Intensity at landfall defined by maximum wind speed provided by an agency 13) hit_obs: Time of landfall 14) hit_times: Number of landfalls | |

dcterms.accrualMethod | To generate this database, the Natural Earth coastline dataset (1:50 million) was used to define the Southeast Asia coastline. A landfall time was recorded whenever a TC crossed from water to land and an individual TC can make landfall multiple times by crossing land back to ocean, then back onto land. A condition of “at least 50 km in distance” between two consecutive landfalls was applied to subtract unrealistically inflated landfalls caused by the zigzag pattern of the coastlines. | |
