WRF forecasting data of severe weather event in Central Europe on 11 August 2017

This dataset is related to the forecasting of weather conditions in Central Europe on 11 August 2017. During that day, the severe and devastating weather phenomenon (derecho) occurred in Poland. The simulations were carried out using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model version 4.2.1 with the initial and boundary conditions from the Global Data Assimilation System (GDAS). The simulation was started at 12:00 UTC with a 24-hour time range. The dataset contains about 220 meteorological parameters stored as 2D or 3D fields in the 2.5 km domain with 5-minute interval. Three-dimensional fields are calculated up to ~42 km at 90 levels. All data are stored in easily accessible NetCDF files.
