dose rate (GDR) network consists of about 1800 continuously
measuring, automatic probes. In order to make data available to
the public as soon as possible, the BfS publishes without prior
examination of the data. Because of the large number of probes
it may happen that some data is missing or shows strange signals
due to failures or technical problems (see Information). It
should be noted that such error can occur and that individual
values may be corrupted at single stations, while the
neighboring probes do not show these abnormalities. The time
series (averaged over one hour) are updated regularly every 6
hours. In the case of an exceptional increase of the GDR, the
probes report their status and the measured dose rate
immediately. This alerts the BfS on-call team, who check the
values within a short reaction time. Often heavy rain showers
