A series of Jupyter Notebooks are provided to demonstrate various types of statistical analysis that can be applied to the tracking outputs.

1. Maps

MCS track density maps (South America):

• MCS track density (annual):

• MCS initiation counts (DJF):

MCS track density maps by season (Central U.S.):

• MCS track density (JJA):

• MCS initiation counts (JJA):

MCS precipitation maps:

• MCS rain amount (annual):

• MCS rain fraction (annual):

• MCS rain frequency (annual):

MCS precipitation maps (no differencing):

• MCS rain amount (MAM):

• MCS rain fraction (MAM):

• MCS rain frequency (MAM):

• MCS rain intensity (MAM):

2. Track Properties

MCS track properties (by season):

• MCS number seasonal cycle with interannual variability:

• MCS property PDFs:

MCS track properties (land vs. ocean):

• MCS property PDFs (land [top] vs. ocean [bottom]):

• Composite lifecycle evolution for short-lived vs. long-lived MCS:

• MCS joint kernel density estimates:

3. Diurnal Cycle

MCS precipitation diurnal cycle:

• Precipitation Hovmoller diagram:

• MCS vs. non-MCS precipitation diurnal cycle:
