    <description descriptionType="Abstract">&lt;p&gt;This data set contains rainfall rates estimated from X-band radar (WRX) observations during the Field Experiment on Sub-mesoscale Spatio-Temporal Variability in Lindenberg (FESSTVaL) from June to August 2021. This single-polarized, local area weather radar was located at the boundary layer field site of the German Weather Service (Deutscher Wetterdienst - DWD) at Falkenberg. The radar operated at an elevation angle of 2.3&amp;deg; with a high temporal 30 s, range 60 m, and sampling 1&amp;deg; resolution refining observations of the German nationwide C-band radars within a 20 km scan radius. The high-resolution rainfall rates are available as hourly NetCDF-files.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Quality:&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;
Several sources of radar-based errors were adjusted gradually affecting the precipitation estimate, e.g. the radar calibration, alignment, attenuation, noise, non-meteorological echoes. However, a few azimuth angles of the measurements are affected by beam blockage. The WRX&amp;rsquo;s reflectivity values are calibrated and the derived rainfall rates are evaluated to measurements of a micro rain radar (MRR) located at the Lindenberg Meteorological Observatory &amp;ndash; Richard Assmann Observatory (MOL-RAO) of the German Weather Service (DWD). The rainfall rates of the WRX and MRR are in good agreement.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Instruments:&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;
local area weather radar / X-band weather radar FLK&lt;/p&gt;
