The cyclones and fronts are identified using updated versions of the algorithms described in Catto and Dowdy (2021), specifically the front identification of Sansom and Catto (2023). The thunderstorm data is calculated using a proxy described in Dowdy (2022). References: Dowdy, A.J. Climatology of thunderstorms, convective rainfall and dry lightning environments in Australia.
