Current hourly sliding RADOLAN grid of daily precipitation height (binary)

SF from RADOLAN (Radar Online Approval), see www.dwd.de/RADOLAN daily precipitation data from 11/2006, available hourly The “historical” data (1.11.2006 to 31.12.2018) are grouped as compressed files monthly and are in the original binary format in the corresponding subdirectories on historical/yyyyyyyy (e.g. YYYY=2015 for the data from 2015). Current files are automatically provided in the “recent” subdirectory (approx. (hh+ 1):30 for the previous hour until hh:50) automatically (by AFD). The following support documents can be found in the subdirectory “Support Documents”: — Shape data for GIS applications: Radolan-GIS.zip — Format description for the original binary format: Radolan-RADVOR composite format_2.4.4.pdf — Geographical coordinates for each RADOLAN radar pixel: Radolan-Raster.zip Further information (including external processing software) is stored with the hourly RW data: s. https://opendata.dwd.de/climate_environment/CDC/grids_germany/hourly/radolan/ Questions by mail to [email protected] Stand: 07.01.2019 DWD-KU42A The routine procedure RADOLAN (radar online estimation) provides from the combination of the hourly values measured selectively at the precipitation stations with the precipitation detection of the 17 weather radars nationwide, spatially and temporally high-resolution quantitative precipitation data in real-time operation for Germany.
