Project Overview

 

This site provides access to the National Severe Storm Lab (NSSL) hourly multi-sensor precipitation dataset derived using the QPSUMMs algorithm.  Upon specification of start and end dates, data  is extracted from the original binary encoded database to a text file, and this text file is pixilated and overlaid on a base map to produce a graphic image of precipitation in the Midwest region. 

 

This work was performed under the Summer Fellows Program at the National Atmospheric and Oceanic Organization’s  Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory.
