The Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD) Quantitative Precipitation Estimates (QPE) Climate Data Record (CDR) provides radar-only and radar-gauge merged precipitation products, as well as ancillary information on precipitation type and radar quality. The initial dataset spans from January 2002–December 2011. The output data is delineated into 11 precipitation types, and the algorithm description document contains more details on output and processing.
To help the project receive continued support, updates, and improvement, tell us how you use Precipitation - NEXRAD QPE CDR data by completing our optional User Registration Form.
