ABRFC WSR-88D Stage III Hourly Precipitation. Version 1.0

This dataset contains data from the NOAA Arkansas-Red Basin River Forecast Center. The ABRFC routinely ingests WSR-88D precipitation derived products (Level III) from each of the radar sites with coverage in the Arkansas-Red River Basin (15 radars). In addition the ABRFC ingests real-time precipitation data from a total of approximately 500 gages. The ABRFC produces a number of derived or "Stage" products using the radar and precipitation gage data. A Stage II product is produced by merging radar precipitation estimates (Stage I) with ground truth data provided by the gages. The Stage II estimates are then composited into a Stage III precipitation 4 x 4 km resolution area averaged mosaic for the Arkansas-Red River Basin.本数据集包含美国国家海洋和大气管理局（National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA）下属阿肯色-雷德河流域洪水预报中心（Arkansas-Red Basin River Forecast Center, ABRFC）的相关数据。ABRFC常规接入并处理覆盖阿肯色-雷德河流域的15部雷达站点产出的WSR-88D降水衍生第三级（Level III）产品。此外，ABRFC还接入总计约500个降水雨量计的实时降水数据。ABRFC依托雷达与降水雨量计观测数据，生成多款衍生的"Stage"系列产品：其中Stage II产品通过将雷达降水估算结果（Stage I）与雨量计提供的地面实测数据融合得到；随后Stage II的估算结果会被合成为适用于阿肯色-雷德河流域、分辨率为4×4公里的Stage III区域平均降水镶嵌图。
