Weamyl radar and precipitation data related to quantitative precipitation estimation

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 quantitative precipitation estimation research.

Radar data contains two radar products:

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. 

One-hour precipitation (OHP): a derivate radar product, it is the precipitation estimation that the radar makes automatically; to be used as comparison

All radar data are in netcdf format. It is data from a WSR-98D Doppler weather radar situated in central Transylvania, provided in the form of a 557x800 grid with the cell size of ~1x1 km.

Precipitation data contains 1-hour precipitation values collected from ground weather station, measured in mm; 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.

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.
