Processed ERA5, IMERG and TRMM PR/GPM DPR precipitation data for Nicolas & Boos - "Understanding the spatiotemporal variability of tropical orographic rainfall using convective plume buoyancy."

The dataset contains processed data from large datasets that are freely available online. All data cover the period 01/2001 - 12/2020. The file names describe the months & region that each file contains. Variable codes for ERA5 data (all files starting in e5.) are: - 228_246_100u : 100m u-wind - 228_247_100v : 100m v-wind - qL : 900-600hPa averaged specific humidity - thetaeb : surface - 900hPa averaged equivalent potential temperature - thetaeL : 900-600hPa averaged equivalent potential temperature - thetaeLstar : 900-600hPa averaged saturation equivalent potential temperature - tL : 900-600hPa averaged temperature - uBL : surface - 900hPa averaged u wind - vBL : surface - 900hPa averaged v wind - 128_034_sstk : sea surface temperature - 162_071_viwve : eastward component of vertically integrated water vapor transport - 162_072_viwvn : northward component of vertically integrated water vapor transport
