Precipitation – radar/gauge 5 minute early reanalysis accumulations over the Netherlands

Gridded files of radar-derived 5 minute precipitation accumulations, corrected by rain gauge data. Radar data from 1 500 m over the Netherlands and surrounding area measured by Dutch, Belgian, and German radars are corrected by available data from automatic and manual rain gauges. Time interval is 5 minutes.

Starting with data from 31 January 2023 – 10.45 UTC onwards, this dataset is created using improved algorithms. This includes correction for signal attenuation, correction for vertical variation of precipitation, correction for fast-moving showers and use of uncertainty information in merging data from multiple radars.
