Subject: Replacement of Single Microwave Sensor Rainfall Rate
Products with the Blended Rain Rate (bRR) Products on AWIPS/NOAAPort
.
On July 19, 2012, at 1600 UTC, NESDIS will replace the AMSU
Rainfall Rate and SSM/I Rainfall Rate products (two products)
currently on AWIPS with the new, higher quality, Blended RR (bRR)
products. The specifications of the new products follow.
.
Sectors Used for bRR AWIPS Products and Associated WMO Headers
(these are the same headers applied to the AMSU Rainfall Rate Products):
- Super National -- TITN29 KNES
- Alaska National -- TITB29 KNES
- Hawaii National -- TITI29 KNES
- Puerto Rico National -- TITQ29 KNES
.
Data Volumes:
Alaska National - 220781 Bytes
Hawaii National - 745445 Bytes
Puerto Rico National - 220781 Bytes
Super National - 388373 Bytes.
.
Once complete, the new bRR product will become the operational product
for both AWIPS-I and AWIPS-II. Within AWIPS-I, the change should be
transparent for everyone. In AWIPS-II, the product does appear differently
and a DR (discrepancy report) has been submitted and is currently expected
to be resolved with OB 12.9.1
.
