Additional info: For DWD stations 1639, 198 and 2044, four different combinations of parameters have been compiled, including "Station", "MSG+COSMO", "Station+MSG+COSMO", and "Visibility-Only". This adds up to 12 distinct training datasets, that are spanned by the included entitys. Value progressions were smoothed with Gaussian weighting (Moving average window = 4; Sigma = 1). For all datasets, attribute "vis_delay" is the target variable. All other variables are predictor variables, except attribute "TIMESTAMP".

Additional info: This data was generated from High Rate SEVIRI Level 1.5 Image Data - MSG - 0 degree data using a trained Random Forest Regressor. The data was spatially resampled to the area extent of the MSG SEVIRI LCRS-Domain. No data was generated for pixels above latitudes of 62 deg. N. and with Solar Zenith Angles above 80 deg. Preprocessing of the model input data was carried out by the LCRS Marburg. The processing script for the MSG data is stored here: https://gitlab.com/lcrsmarburg/meteosat_scripts/-/blob/master/preprocessing/preprocess_MSG.py.
