Abstrakt: In 2021, a group of seven italian institutions decided to bring together their know-how, experience, and instruments for measuring the drop size distribution (DSD) of atmospheric precipitation giving birth to the Italian Group of Disdrometry (in Italian named: Gruppo Italiano Disdrometria, GID, https://www.gid-net.it/). The GID has made freely available a database of 1-minute records of DSD collected by the disdrometer network along the Italian peninsula. At the time of writing, the disdrometer network is composed of eight laser disdrometers belonging to six different Italian institutions (including research centers, universities and environmental regional agencies). This work aims to document the technical aspects of the italian DSD database consisting of 1-minute sampling data from 2012 to 2021 in a uniform standard format defined within GID. Although not all the disdrometers have the same length of the data record, the DSD data collection effort is the first of its kind in Italy, and from here onwards, it opens new opportunities in the surface characterization of microphysical properties of precipitation in the perspective of climate records. The GID database can be downloaded here https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6875801 (Adirosi et al., 2022). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
