Description

The data in a .7z (zipped) format have the following; a list of all events with initial and final date and time of each event, SuperDARN data of five examples presented in the paper and all the events in the list. The data was initially downloaded from the Virgia Tech (vt) website (http://vt.superdarn.org/) using the link (https:http://vt.superdarn.org/tiki-index.php?page=Examine%20Fit%20Contents7) that is no longer available because of the updates that are taking place, but the processed SuperDARN data might be available in the near future. The SuperDARN radar data at Zhongshan station also belong to Chinese Meridian Project (https://data.meridianproject.ac.cn/) and Chinese National Polar Scientific Data Center (https://en.pric.org.cn/). To get the raw data for any SuperDARN radar can be downloaded from the BAS SuperDARN data mirror at https://ww w.bas.ac.uk/project/superdarn/#data. The Zhongshan SuperDARN radar is maintained and operated by the Polar Research Institute of China. We acknowledge the use of SuperDARN data. SuperDARN is a network of radars funded by national scientific funding agencies of Australia, Canada, China, France, Italy, Japan, Norway, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America.
