The dataset contains the rain gauge hourly rainfall series used in the paper "How well does a convection-permitting climate model represent the reverse orographic effect of extreme hourly precipitation?". Each rain gauge series is saved in one Matlab variable, organized as a structure S with five fields: S.name: the identification name of the rain gauge station S.vals_mm: series of hourly rainfall in millimeter S.time_utc: time steps series, in UTC time S.elev_m: elevation of the station, in m a.s.l. S.xy_utm: station coordinates X and Y in meter in the Reference system WGS84/UTM zone 32N
