DWD weather model data for energy system simulation: 2012

These are data from Deutschen Wetterdienst and their COSMO-DE model or COSMO-EU model.
We've got data of the assimilation analysis run.
The assimilation analysis is a re-run of the COSMO-xx model with measuremtns of DWD weather stations as a boundary condition. It is as close as possible to the actually then prevelant weather.
All wind and temperature data are directly taken from DWD and from the COSMO-DE model.
The irridiation data were calculated from the averages of 1 to 3 hours as given by the DWD COSMO-EU model, to have one average value for the then starting hour.
The author grants no guarantee for the validity of the recalculated data.
Creator of the data is the DWD.
This is simply a prepared, gathered and cut of the DWD data to have a handy and easily accessible data set for energy system simulation.
File format: hdf5 - Version 1 (created with Matlab)
Every file has the following values:
Latitudes in °, /latitude, 2D-grid, single-precision (4-Byte floating point), (X Y)
Longitudes in °, /longitude, 2D-grid, single-precision (4-Byte floating point), (X Y)
The recorded value (see below), /<shorthand>, 3D-grid, single-precision (4-Byte floating point), (X Y time)
Every file has the following attributes:
/creation_date
