“…Considering the shortcomings of radiosonde sounding data, reanalysis datasets are more and more widely used (e.g., Allen and Karoly, 2014; Brooks, 2013; Coffer et al ., 2020; Diffenbaugh et al ., 2013; Gensini and Brooks, 2018; Li et al ., 2020; Li and Chavas, 2021; Tang et al ., 2019; Taszarek et al ., 2021a, 2021b Taszarek et al ., 2018; Zhou et al ., 2021) due to their continuity in space and time. ERA5 reanalysis has high resolution, and can provide atmospheric homogeneity records with long time series (Czernecki et al ., 2019; Rodríguez and Bech, 2020; Taszarek et al 2021a, 2021b; Ukkonen and Mäkelä, 2019).…”
