ABRFC WSR-88D Stage III Hourly Precipitation
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/1.016

Summary
This dataset contains data from the NOAA Arkansas-Red Basin River Forecast
Center. The ABRFC routinely ingests WSR-88D precipitation derived products
(Level III) from each of the radar sites with coverage in the Arkansas-Red
River Basin (15 radars). In addition the ABRFC ingests real-time precipitation
data from a total of approximately 500 gages. The ABRFC produces a number of
derived or "Stage" products using the radar and precipitation gage data. A
Stage II product is produced by merging radar precipitation estimates (Stage
I) with ground truth data provided by the gages. The Stage II estimates are
then composited into a Stage III precipitation 4 x 4 km resolution area
averaged mosaic for the Arkansas-Red River Basin.
