  6. PERSIANN (0.25° 0.25°) 07/25-27/2006 High resolution precipitation data are needed for hydrologic applications in SW. Severe storms propagate from mountains to low-elevated areas. PERSIANN CCS (0.04° 0.04°) 07/24-27/2006 Acknowledgement. This research is partially funded by NSF/SAHRA and NASA/GPM programs A SHORT MOVIE OF PERSIANN PRODUCTS (PERSIANN: Precipitation estimation from Remote Sensing Information using Artificial Neural Network)

  7. RESEARCH TO SUPPORT MODELING EFFORTS Flash Flood Monitoring (7/27-28/2006) Poor radar coverage over mountainous southwest can result in missing flood warning for the areas radar network does not cover (Maddox et al., 2003). The demo shows our on-going study to check how the missing portions of a severe storm can be retrieved by the concurrent PERSIANN storm images and also reduce false warning. Differences between PERSIANN and radar images exist. Red: PERSIANN Rain vs. Radar No Rain Blue: PERSIANN No Rain vs. Radar Rain Radar beams (3-km above ground level) are blocked by mountains in southwest United States. Strong convections start over mountains where radar coverage is poor. PERSIANN monitors the lifetimes of storm systems and provides information for early warning.
