• Description:
  NESDIS generates a suite of precipitation and water vapor (layered and total precipitable water, henceforth denoted as Blended Water Vapor (BWV) and precipitable water (PW)) products to support NWS operations. The routine validation of these products is critical to evaluate their performance over various regions, seasons and varying synoptic conditions. Such information is vital for product leads and end users.
