EO:EUM:DAT:MSG:PROBS3Precipitation rate at ground by GEO/IR supported by LEO/MW - MSGseriesAtmospheric conditionsLandPrecipitationDisastersWaterWeatherEUMETCast-EuropeEUMETCastSAF Archive & FTP2012-06-26Instantaneous precipitation maps generated by IR images from operational geostationary satellites 'calibrated' by precipitation measurements from MW images in sun-synchronous orbits, processed soon after each acquisition of a new image from GEO ('Rapid Update'). The calibrating lookup tables are updated after each new pass of a MW-equipped satellite. The algorithm is the result of a combined effort between CNR-ISAC and the Naval Research Laboratory (Monterey, California, USA). The product is mostly suitable for convective precipitation.2011-05-16Europe-copyrightcopyrightPR-OBS-32011-05-1625.0 25.075.0 75.0
