C5 - Radar-based spatial climate data

The following grid data products are derived from radar data, which were further processed for statistical statements with the use of the HailStoRe resampling approach, among other things (see links for detailed product documentations). The hail climatology was developed in a user-oriented manner in a public-private partnership and represents a nationally uniform basis for the risk assessment of hail events.

The following data are planned to be made available in May 2025:

Maximum Hailstone Size

  • Monthly and Yearly radar-based Maximum Hailstone Size « 🟡 ProdDoc (PDF) URL ?

Number of Hail Days

  • Monthly and Yearly radar-based Number of Hail Days « 🟡 ProdDoc (PDF) URL ?
  • Monthly and Yearly radar-based Number of Hail Days with Hail >2cm « 🟡 ProdDoc (PDF) URL ?
  • Monthly and Yearly radar-based Number of Hail Days with Hail >4cm « 🟡 ProdDoc (PDF) URL ?

The coordinate system is Swiss LV95 / EPSG:2056.

The data format is NetCDF with an estimated volume of ... MB per file.
