The OpenMRG data set

Overview

Data for the article "OpenMRG: Open data from Microwave links, Radar, and Gauges for rainfall quantification in Gothenburg, Sweden" (Andersson et al. 2022, Earth Syst. Sci. Data, 14, 5411–5426, https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-14-5411-2022)

OpenMRG consists of data from 364 bi-directional commercial microwave links (CML, 10s resolution, true coordinates), one C-band radar composite, and 11 rainfall gauges covering Gothenburg, Sweden during June-August 2015. More details on the data structure and files the are provided in readme.txt.
