Abstract
To aid in modeling studies over the Mississippi River Basin, we have developed an archival precipitation data set for the GEWEX Continental-Scale International Project. The data set spans from 1996–2000, a 5-year continuous period of record. Inputs for the data set are the National Reflectivity Composite that we obtained in Hierarchical Data Format. The size of the input data is 40 GB.
In order to significantly reduce the size of the data set, we have developed an efficient data format that can be read from a disc faster than the input Hierarchical Data Format. We have also developed browsing tools for users of the data set. The data browser allows for fast and efficient viewing of the precipitation data and was produced using a common Geographic Information System software. Peripheral data are also included in the browser as an aid to the user.
