Goal of the PRS product

This product provides precipitation rate.

PRS algorithm summary

The algorithm used is the LSA-SAF H70 algorithm. It is developped for the MWS sensor, though in PPS-MW is might be applied for both MWS and ATMS.

The PRS output

Main output

• Precipitation Rate in mm/h

Additional output

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

There are also some quality and conditon flags.
