Return values of the maximum hailstone size (MESHS)

The data contain the return values of the hailstone sizes MESHS as a function of the return period T. They describe the hailstone size that is exceeded with a probability of 1/T per year under today's climate conditions, at a fixed location. The return values were determined using a resampling approach and describe the maximum hailstone size to be expected on a square kilometre (based on the radar parameter MESHS).
