Improving QPE and Very Short Term QPF: An Initiative for a Community-Wide Integrated Approach

Abstract: A multisensor applications development and evaluation system at the National Severe Storms Laboratory addresses significant gaps in both our knowledge and capabilities for accurate high-resolution precipitation estimates at the national scale. W ater is a precious resource and, when excessive or in short supply, a source of many hazards. It is essential to monitor and predict water-related hazards, such as floods, droughts, debris flows, and water quality, and to determine current and future availability of wa… Show more

“…This analysis included level II data from individual WSR-88D sites obtained from the National Climatic Data Center, base reflectivity composites generated by Unisys, and the composite (column maximum) reflectivity derived from the National Mosaic and Multisensor Quantitative Precipitation Estimation (NMQ) Project (Vasiloff et al 2007). In addition, this study used surface and upper-air observations from a variety of platforms that were quality controlled by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Meteorological Assimilation Data Ingest System (MADIS) (see Fig.…”

“…In addition to detecting precipitation in the atmosphere, these radars also detect flying animals, such as birds, bats and volant arthropods (Chilson et al 2011). Recent advances in processing of data from networked radars into mosaics that map radar reflectivity onto a Cartesian grid spanning the entire continental US (Zhang et al 2004, Zhang et al 2005, Langston et al 2007, Vasiloff et al 2007 greatly increases the potential to use these radar data for continental-scale analyses.…”

“…Precipitation data for this study were obtained from the National Mosaic and Multi-Sensor Quantitative Precipitation Estimation System (NMQ): Q2 (Vasiloff et al 2007;Langston et al 2007;Zhang et al 2011). This system is the result of collaborative research involving various U.S. research and government agencies and the Central Weather Bureau of Taiwan (Zhang et al 2011;Wu et al 2012;Zhang et al 2016).…”
