PE radar site product echo tops

The PE radar data is a location echo top product based on the volume radar scan. Horizontal resolution is 1 km x 1 km. The horizontal range within the DWD radar network is 180 km (400px x 400px). The product is produced every 5 minutes. The data resolution is 16 bit.

The data is available for the following radar sites:

ASR Borkum, Boostedt, Rostock, Hannover, Ummendorf, Prötzel, Essen, Korbach-Rhena 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".
