Description

Climatological radar rainfall dataset of 5 minute precipitation depths at a 1-km grid, which have been adjusted employing validated and complete rain gauge data from both KNMI rain gauge networks. Same dataset as "RAD_NL25_RAC_MFBS_5min", except that now an Extended Mask (EM) has been applied to this dataset. As a result, data are also available up to tens of kilometers away from the land surface of the Netherlands, i.e. above Belgium, Germany, and above open water. This dataset is updated per ten days providing data with a delay of typically one month.
