The Tropical Cyclone PRecipitation, Infrared, Microwave, and Environmental Dataset (TC PRIMED) is a comprehensive 22-year (1998 to 2021) dataset of global tropical cyclone satellite passive microwave observations. The dataset encompasses over 197,000 TC overpasses of over 2,300 storms.TC PRIMED serves as an analysis- and AI-ready dataset for use in applications to improve our understanding about tropical cyclone processes by combining disparate sources of data.
