LMRFC WSR-88D Stage III Hourly Precipitation Imagery
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/24.008

Summary
This data set contains data from the NOAA Lower Mississippi River Forecast
Center (LMRFC). The LMRFC routinely ingests WSR-88D precipitation derived
products (Level III) from each of the radar sites with coverage in the Lower
Mississippi River Basin. In addition the LMRFC ingests real-time precipitation
data from several hundred gages. The LMRFC 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 Lower Mississippi River Basin.
