Dataset

Description

This dataset contains all simulations produced and used in the moisture tracking intercomparison project (INSPIRE) and is the base for all figures in the accompanying paper.

In this research we compare output from 14 moisture tracking methods that all simulated the moisture sources of precipitation for three selected extreme precipitation events (10-24 August 2022 over Pakistan, 22-28 February 2022 over Australia, 6-8 October over Scotland).

We also provide the re-analysis data to reproduce the figures on the synoptic weather situation during the events, and to compare the events with climatological values.
