Climatology-based Adjustments for Radar Rainfall in an OperaTional Setting: Adjustment factors for the Netherlands ...

This dataset contains gridded adjustment factors for correction of the Quantitative Precipitation Estimations (QPE) of the two operational C-band weather radars operated by the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI). The factors are based on the CARROTS (Climatology-based Adjustments for Radar Rainfall in an OperaTional Setting) method, described in Imhoff et al. (2021). The factors are available for every yearday (temporal resolution of one day) and are based on ten years (2009 - 2018) of radar and reference rainfall data, as distributed by KNMI. For the derivation of the factors,... Mehr ...

This dataset contains gridded adjustment factors for correction of the Quantitative Precipitation Estimations (QPE) of the two operational C-band weather radars operated by the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI). The factors are based on the CARROTS (Climatology-based Adjustments for Radar Rainfall in an OperaTional Setting) method, described in Imhoff et al. (2021). The factors are available for every yearday (temporal resolution of one day) and are based on ten years (2009 - 2018) of radar and reference rainfall data, as distributed by KNMI. For the derivation of the factors, both the operational radar QPE (https://doi.org/10.4121/uuid:05a7abc4-8f74-43f4-b8b1-7ed7f5629a01) and a reference rainfall dataset of KNMI (https://dataplatform.knmi.nl/catalog/datasets/index.html?x-dataset=rad_nl25_rac_mfbs_em_5min&&x-dataset-version=2.0) are used. The reference is not available in real time, but becomes available with a one to two month delay and was therefore available for this ...
