Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 06:34 AM | Dataset Last Updated: January 01, 2008 at 12:00 AM
The National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) National Stage IV Multi-sensor Precipitation Analysis provides precipitation products that enhances quality control to filter non-precipitation echoes, and it derives precipitation rate estimates only after compositing data from multiple radars. Multi-sensor QPEs from various stages of the operational processes have been made available to end-users; Stage IV is a term used to describe the final stage of rainfall processing, the nationwide mosaicking of manually edited, regional Stage III or MPE products. This mosaicking has been performed by the NWS Office of Climate, Weather and Water Services and National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) since 2002.
