Short summary
We developed an automated algorithm using cloud-top temperature data from the Fengyun-2G geostationary satellite to create a decade-long dataset of Mesoscale Convective Complexes over China. Results show southwestern China as a primary hotspot and link interannual variability to ENSO-related air–sea interactions. This dataset supports studies of severe convection, weather forecasting, and climate variability.
