Data sets

WegenerNet climate station network Level 2 data version 7.1 (2007-2020) J. Fuchsberger, G. Kirchengast, C. Bichler, A. Leuprecht, and T. Kabas https://doi.org/10.25364/WEGC/WPS7.1:2021.1

Short summary

We assess an operational merged gauge–radar precipitation product over a period of 12 years, using gridded precipitation fields from a dense gauge network (WegenerNet) in southeastern Austria. We analyze annual data, seasonal data, and extremes using different metrics. We identify individual events using a simple threshold based on the interval between two consecutive events and evaluate the events' characteristics in both datasets.
