1) Inundation_Area_July2022_RiverAhr (Shape-Format)
The dataset includes the inundation areas along the river Ahr, which were derived using available data (Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2) and pictures/video sequences from media and social media channels in near-real-time (within a few days after the flood).

2) BackwardTrajectories_baseonERA5_LAGRANTO (txt-Format)
The dataset includes the pathway of air masses in the form of 10-day kinematic backward trajectories using the Lagrangian Analysis Tool (LAGRANTO; Sprenger and Wernli, 2015) based on ERA5 with different start dates and the following parameters:

Reference date = start date
time = hours before starting date
lon = latitude in °E
lat = latitude in °N
p = pressure in hPa
Q = moisture in g/kg
T = temperature in K
RH = relative humidity in %
TH = potential temperature in K
BLH = boundary layer height in m
