Extreme weather events are defined as small probability events where the weather (climate) state in a specific region deviates significantly from the average state during a specific time period. This dataset covers northern China (north of 35 ° N). The extreme climate event sequences in northern China from 1971 to 2020 were calculated using the threshold method and percentile method based on meteorological station data using R language. It includes 16 extreme temperature indicators, 11 extreme precipitation indicators, and extreme wind speed indicators, providing basic data support for regional climate disaster correlation research.

The original meteorological data is the China Ground Climate Daily Value Dataset (V3.0), from the National Meteorological Information Center China Meteorological Data Network, in. txt format, with a time range of 1971-2020, including key fields such as station number, observation date, daily maximum temperature, daily minimum temperature, and daily precipitation. A total of 346 meteorological station data.
This study strictly follows the ETCCDI (Expert Group on Climate Change Detection and Indicators) indicator system in the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Guidelines for Climate Change Detection and Indicators, and is based on daily meteorological observation data from northern China from 1971 to 2020. This dataset covers core elements such as daily maximum temperature, daily minimum temperature, daily precipitation, and sandstorm observation records. Through a multi-step standardized process in the R language environment, 29 core extreme climate indicators were calculated. The extreme wind speed calculation reference (Jiang et al. 2023) paper includes three threshold calculations for extreme wind speed and the number of annual sandstorms. In the specific process, strict data quality control is first implemented on the original meteorological station data, eliminating outliers and missing data to ensure the reliability of basic data; Subsequently, two core methods were used to calculate extreme climate indicators: one was the absolute threshold method, which focused on calculating indicators such as maximum 1-day precipitation (RX1-day) and maximum 5-day precipitation (RX5day) that reflect the characteristics of precipitation extremes; The second method is the relative percentile method, which is used to calculate indicators such as heavy precipitation (R95p), extreme precipitation days (R20mm), precipitation intensity (SDII) that depend on the climate background of the reference period, ensuring the scientific and standardized calculation of indicators. "
Over 5 years from 1971 to 2018, there were more than 60 days/year of missing tests; If there are more than 3 days of missing tests in 2019-2020, that month will be excluded; Missing testing for less than 3 days, filled with data from 1 day before/after using
