Tropical cyclone precipitation (TCP) is a key diagnostic in the context of atmospheric science, hazard, risk and flood research. This dataset provides estimates of TCP from global datasets. The various TCP metrics reported were estimated through the analysis of the global Multi-Source Weighted-Ensemble Precipitation (MSWEP) precipitation product and the International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship (IBTrACS) version 4. There are two main files that comprise the dataset. The main dataset file includes information on the mean and maximum TCP found within 500 km of each storm centre as well as the rainfall area and radius of maximum rain. The second file includes the estimates of azimuthally averaged precipitation using a 10 km bin spacing which is useful for analyses of the storm-scale structure of precipitation.
