Short summary
In this project, we developed a gridded hourly precipitation dataset for Belgium, covering over 70 years (1940–2016). The data has a spatial resolution of one kilometer, which means it provides highly localized precipitation information. To estimate precipitation for a specific day in the past, we searched for days in the recent radar data period with similar weather patterns, known as the analog method. The median of the produced dataset is available for public use and can be found on Zenodo.
