The RV composite is a Germany composite of the amount of precipitation accumulated over a period of 5 minutes in mm. For graphical visualisation it was converted to mm/h. Horizontal resolution is 1 km x 1 km. The horizontal range of the DWD radar network is 1200 x 1100 with a class number of 4095 and an availability of 5 min.

The sweep radar data are location reflectivity products. Horizontal resolution is 1 degree x 250 m. The horizontal range is 180 km. The product has an availability of 5 min. This data is available with and without a polarimetric clutter filter, which eliminates non-meteorological echos to increase 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)’.
