Weamyl radar and precipitation data related to quantitative precipitation estimation

<p>This dataset contains radar data and precipitation data provided for research during the Weamyl project (NO Grants 2014-2021, under Project contract no. 26/2020) specifically used for&nbsp;quantitative precipitation estimation research.</p> <p>Radar data contains two radar products:</p> <ul> <li>Reflectivity (R): a base radar product, measured in dBZ, it is the product used for estimating precipitation. R data for the lowest 2 elevation angles.&nbsp;</li> <li>One-hour precipitation (OHP): a derivate radar product, it is the precipitation estimation that the radar makes automatically; to be used as comparison</li> </ul> <p>All radar data are in <a href="https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/">netcdf </a>format. It is data from a&nbsp;WSR-98D Doppler weather radar situated in central Transylvania, provided in the form of a 557x800 grid with the cell size of ~1x1 km.</p> <p>Precipitation data contains 1-hour precipitation values collected from ground weather station, measured in mm;&nbsp;with the purpose to be used as ground truth. The precipitation data contains a csv file that contains the actual precipitation data, first value mentions the station code, the second the time and date and the third the 1-hour accumulated precipitation value, in mm.</p> <p>The second file provides the lat/long values for the ground weather stations, to be able to match the values of a station to a location on the grids from the radar data.</p>
