C<sup>3</sup>ONTEXT: a Common Consensus on Convective OrgaNizaTion during the EUREC<sup>4</sup>A eXperimenT

Abstract. The C3ONTEXT (a Common Consensus on Convective OrgaNizaTion during the EUREC4A eXperimenT) dataset is presented as an overview of mesoscale cloud patterns identified (Elucidating role clouds–circulation coupling in climate) field campaign early 2020. Based infrared and visible satellite images, 50 researchers science team manually four prevailing shallow convection observed by Stevens et al. (2020). common consensus emerging from these manual classifications presented. It builds basis for future studies reduces subjective nature visually defined patterns. This makes it possible to contextualize measurements interpret them setting. Commonly used approaches capture are computed comparison show good agreement with classifications. All classified (2020) were present January–February 2020, although not all dominant observing period EUREC4A. Supplemental storm-resolving simulations suggest that latter have a limited ability replicate require further research. full including post-processed datasets easier usage openly available at Zenodo archive https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5979718 (Schulz, 2022a).
