Summary
The data are results of the reprocessing version 2016.003 of the DWD radar-based precipitation climatology based on the RADOLAN method. The precipitation sums (RW) result from the radar-based precipitation estimation that are adjusted with precipitation measurements by gauges.
The YW products are five-minute precipitation rates quasi-adjusted applying RW. The data is available on a 1 km x 1 km grid in polarstereographic projektion and covers the time span of 2001 until 2015.
Version 2016.003 has been produced applying a single RADOLAN version. Besides automatic station data, disaggregated daily data are used for adjustment.
