Abstract: Supplementary data for the publication: Mohr, S., Ehret, U., Kunz, M., Ludwig, P., Caldas-Alvarez, A., Daniell, J. E., Ehmele, F., Feldmann, H., Franca, M. J., Gattke, C., Hundhausen, M., Knippertz, P., Küpfer, K., Mühr, B., Pinto, J. G., Quinting, J., Schäfer, A. M., Scheibel, M., Seidel, F., and Wisotzky, C.: A multi-disciplinary analysis of the exceptional flood event of July 2021 in central Europe. Part 1: Event description and analysis, Nat. Hazards Earth Syst. Sci. Discuss. doi:10.5194/nhess-2022-137.

1) Inundation_Area_July2022_RiverAhr (Shape-Format) The dataset includes the inundation areas along the river Ahr, which were derived using available data (Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2) and pictures/video sequences from media and social media channels in near-real-time (within a few days after the flood).

2) BackwardTrajectories_baseonERA5_LAGRANTO (txt-Format) The dataset includes the pathway of air masses in the form of 10-day kinematic backward trajectories using the Lagrangian Analysis Tool (LAGRANTO; Sprenger and Wernli, 2015) based on ERA5 with different start dates.

Further details can be found in the corresponding publication.

Reference date = start date time = hours before starting date lon = latitude in °E lat = latitude in °N p = pressure in hPa Q = moisture in g/kg T = temperature in K RH = relative humidity in % TH = potential temperature in K BLH = boundary layer height in m
