Description

Gridded files of radar-derived 5 minute precipitation accumulations, corrected by rain gauge data. Radar data over the Netherlands and surrounding area measured by Dutch, Belgian, and German radars are corrected by available data from automatic rain gauges. Time interval is 5 minutes. See data set nl_rdr_data_rtcor_5m_tar/1.0 for an archive that goes back to 2018.

Starting with data from 31 January 2023 - 10.45 UTC onwards, this dataset is created using improved algorithms. This includes correction for signal attenuation, correction for vertical variation of precipitation, correction for fast-moving showers and use of uncertainty information in merging data from multiple radars.
