Goal of the PRI product

This product provides precipitation rate.

PRI algorithm summary

The algorithm used is the LSA-SAF H71 algorithm. It is using the MWI sensor.

The PRI output

Main output

• Precipitation Rate in mm/h

Additional output

• Precipitation Phase as liquid/ice/mixed
• Snow Water Path in kg/m²
• Liquid Water Path in kg/m²
• Total Water Path in kg/m²
• Presence of Super Cooled Droplets as 0/1

There are also some quality and conditon flags.
