MBRFC WSR-88D Stage III Hourly Precipitation Imagery https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/55.005 Summary This data set contains data from the NOAA Missouri Basin River Forecast Center (MBRFC). The MBRFC routinely ingests WSR-88D precipitation derived products (Level III) from each of the radar sites with coverage in the Missouri River Basin. In addition the MBRFC ingests real-time precipitation data from several hundred gages. The MBRFC 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 Missouri River Basin.
