AB  - This dataset fully records 24 years of observational records of polar mesoscale cyclones in the Nordic region during winter (November to April of the following year) from 2001 to 2024. This dataset contains 1110 vortex trajectories, 16001 cyclone cloud features (including length, width, position, and shape features - spiral/comma shaped), and 4472 wind speed records (wind vector images and maximum cyclone wind speed). At the same time, provide the corresponding hourly vortex path derived from ERA5 data, including 850 hPa vorticity and the lowest atmospheric pressure value near the sea level. As the most comprehensive PMC archive in the Nordic waters, the IMPMCT dataset provides basic data for deepening research on cyclone generation and enhancement mechanisms, assisting in the development of enhanced monitoring and early warning systems, supporting the validation and optimization of polar numerical weather forecasting models, and promoting the improvement of risk assessment and safety regulations for offshore operations.
