EarthCARE-TC: Tropical Cyclone Structure Analysis Scripts

Jin-De Huang provides analysis scripts for processing EarthCARE satellite observations of tropical cyclones. The 386.1 MB repository includes workflows for data preprocessing, colocation with TC tracks, and statistical analyses of radar reflectivity, Doppler velocity, and cloud microphysical properties. The code was last updated on May 1, 2026, and is released under an MIT license to ensure reproducibility.

Use Cases

• Reproduce statistical analyses of tropical cyclone structures based on radar reflectivity data mentioned in the description
• Study the coupling between atmospheric dynamics and cloud microphysics using the provided analysis workflows
• Apply preprocessing and colocation workflows to new EarthCARE observations for future tropical cyclone studies

Strengths

• Includes 386.1 MB of analysis scripts, indicating substantial codebase for processing
• Released under an MIT license, which facilitates open use and modification
• Workflows are explicitly designed for reproducibility of the study's findings

Limitations

• The repository contains analysis scripts, not the underlying observational dataset itself
• Column-level documentation for any output data is absent; field semantics must be inferred from code
• Row count for any generated data is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
