Weather Radar - DPQPE

Weather Radar - DPQPE DPQPE product: DPQPE stands for: Dual Polarization Quantitative Precipitation Estimation. The DPQPE product is available only for S-Band radars. It is a two-dimensional representation of the precipitation rate estimated by the lowest sweep of the radar (elevation angle of 0.4 degrees for the majority of S-Band radars). Thus, the precipitation rate is estimated as close to the earth's surface as possible. The DPQPE product is based, among other things, on a series of polarimetric processing steps (quality control) to eliminate non-meteorological artifacts from the raw data (volumetric scans). It renders in mm/h for rain and cm/h for snow. This product is calculated with a maximum coverage range of 240 km. 2023-03-21 Environment and Climate Change Canada ECWeather-Meteo@ec.gc.ca Nature and EnvironmentRadarRemote sensingWeatherAtmospheric conditionsMeteorologyWeather MSC DatamartGIF https://dd.weather.gc.ca/radar/DPQPE/ MSC DatamartGIF https://dd.meteo.gc.ca/radar/DPQPE/ MSC Datamart AMQPGIF amqps://dd.weather.gc.ca/radar.DPQPE.# MSC Datamart AMQPGIF amqps://dd.meteo.gc.ca/radar.DPQPE.#
