This repository is for demonstrating the detection and tracking of the Intertropical Convective Cell (ITCC).
For demonstration, please refer to ITCC_demo.m.
For the results of the ITCC tracking, load ITCC_attrs_ERA5_OLR.mat and ITCC_attrs_NOAA_CDR_OLR.mat.
The source codes were developed in Matlab (version 2019a or later).
If you found this repository helpful, please cite the repository and our first journal article about the ITCC. Thank you!
