Sweep radar data reflectivity precipitation scan
These sweep radar data are location reflectivity products. Horizontal resolution is 1 degree x 250 m. The horizontal range is 150 km. The product has an availability of 5 min. This data is available with and without a polarimetric filter, which marks interference signals and increases the quality of the data.
The data is available for the following radar sites:
Borkum, Boostedt, Rostock, Hannover, Ummendorf, Prötzel, Essen, Flechtdorf, Dresden, Neuhaus, Neuheilenbach, Offenthal, Eisberg, Türkheim, Isen, Feldberg, Memmingen. Up-to-date radar site data is available in the linked list of "Radar and wind profiler locations of DWD".
Note: In order to convert the numerical values contained in the HDF5 files into physical quantities (dBZ), it is necessary to use the attributes “gain”, “offset”, “nodata” and “undetect”; see section 4.5 in ‘OPERA weather radar information model in HDF5 v2.3 (PDF)’.
