Goal of the PRHL product

This product provides precipitation rate, for a pre-defined area mainly covering the nordic countries.

PRHL algorithm summary

The algorithm is a neural network, trained on radar data from the nordic countries. It runs for MWS, AWS and ATMS data.

The PRHL output

Main output

• Precipitation Rate in mm/h

Additional output

• Precipitation Phase as liquid/ice/mixed
• Precipitation Rate Uncertainty in mm/h

There are also some quality and conditon flags.
