Convection-permitting WRF simulations with 5 microphysics schemes over 30 days

This dataset contains Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model output with five different cloud microphysics schemes for 30 convective precipitation days in 2019 and 2020. A key feature is the large number of simulation days at high horizontal grid spacing (400 m) which allows for a statistical comparison of the influence of microphysics schemes on the prediction of convection. The simulation setups include three domains. An outer Europe domain with 10 km horizontal grid spacing and two two-way nested domains: Germany (2 km) and Munich (400 m). Each simulation starts at 18 UTC on the previous day and covers 30 hours. Initial and lateral boundary conditions were provided by GFS reanalysis data at 0.25° grid spacing.
