WRF model fields for TITAN tracking of simulated storms, P3 microphysics scheme

This dataset contains reflectivity and maximum hail diameter fields extracted from WRF v4.0.1 simulations, run using HAILCAST and the P3 microphysics scheme. The data is subset to the specified region of interest over Switzerland. The file 'coordinates.nc' contains the latitude/longitude coordinates for each included point, as well as global WRF attributes for the model run. Full model run details are listed in a manuscript in the journal Geoscientific Model Development (https://gmd.copernicus.org/articles/14/6495/2021/gmd-14-6495-2021.html). 

Author contributions: 
AM configured and ran the model with input from THR, THR wrote the corresponding manuscript, OM oversaw the project.
