Layer name	PR OBS 3 - H03
Tag	Rain
Folder
Source	EUMETSAT-HSAF
Description	Precipitation rate at ground by GEO/IR supported by LEO/MW. Instantaneous precipitation maps generated by IR images from operational geostationary satellites "calibrated" by precipitation measurements from MW images in sun-synchronous orbits, processed soon after each acquisition of a new image from GEO ("Rapid Update") and presented in the natural projection of the image from GEO properly arranged so as to implement animation. Coverage: The rectangular area of the Meteosat field of view that includes the H-SAF area limited to 60° N [i.e. 25-60°N lat instead of 25-75°N lat, 25°W-45°E long] Cycle: 15 min Resolution: Average over Europe: 8 km (controlled by the IR pixel size) Accuracy: 40-80 % (> 10 mm/h), 80-160 % (1-10 mm/h), not applicable for low rate (more suitable for convective precipitation) Timeliness: Within 5 min from the end of (real time) acquisition Dissemination: By dedicated lines to centres connected by GTS - By EUMETCast to most other users, especially scientific Formats: Primary: values in fixed grid points of the Meteosat projection - Also animations of image-like files More info at: PR OBS3 H03 documentation on line
