Messages containing Satellite-derived Precipitation Estimates (SPE) and satellite based synoptic/mesoscale analyses and trends are issued as guidance to the National Weather Service (NWS) when heavy rain/snow pose a threat to life and property over the lower 48 states, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. For questions/comments about SPE messages/graphics please contact SSDPrecip@noaa.gov. |  |

| NESDIS Blended Products | eTRaP | ||
 |
NESDIS Blended Products include TPW, TPW Anomaly, and Rain Rate products over water as well as land. They are derived from various data sources of including AMSU, SSM/I, GOES Sounders, and GPS. TPW | TPW Anomaly | Rain Rate |
 |
The eTRaP is a simple ensemble that allows for the generation of probabilistic forecasts of rainfall in addition to deterministic rainfall totals. |
| QMORPH | Operational Hydro-Estimator | ||
 |
QMORPH is a variation of the Climate Prediction Center's (CPC) CMORPH which uses precipitation estimated from polar orbiting satellites and propagates these features using information gathered from geostationary satellites. NESDIS Display | CPC data/info |
 |
The Hydro-Estimator (HE) uses primarily cloud top temperature obtained from GOES satellites to derive rainfall rates and estimates within the CONUS. |

GOES-R is the next generation of GOES Satellites scheduled to be launched in 2016. The Regional and Mesoscale Meteorology Branch (RAMMB) of CIRA site showcases products that are part of the GOES-R proving ground, including current GOES RGB Airmass Products.
