Short summary

Integrated Multi-source Polar Mesoscale Cyclone Tracks (IMPMCT) is a dataset containing a 24-year record (2001–2024) of polar storms in the Nordic Seas. These storms, called Polar Mesoscale Cyclones (PMCs), sometimes cause extreme winds and waves, threatening marine operations. IMPMCT combines remote sensing measurements and reanalysis data to construct a comprehensive PMCs archive. It includes 1110 PMCs tracks, 16 001 cloud patterns, and 4472 wind records, providing fundamental data for advancing our understanding of their development mechanisms.
