Description
Lin-Wen Cheng, Cheng-Ku Yu, Che-Yu Lin, and Shabeh ul Hasson present a 2026 data paper describing fifteen years of minute-by-minute rainfall measurements from Da-Tun Mountain in northern Taiwan. The volcanic massif, about 15 kilometres wide and one kilometre high, sits just inland from the coast and catches heavy rain when tropical cyclones and monsoon winds push moist air against it.
A network of 25 tipping-bucket gauges spread across peaks, slopes, and valleys recorded the rain from 2009 to 2023, and every record passed quality control. Alongside the one-minute data, the authors provide totals aggregated over ten minutes, hours, days, and months. The dense station record serves as a benchmark for studying mountain rainfall processes, characterizing typhoon rain. Correcting radar-based rainfall estimates, among other research and operational uses.
