RAIN-N: N-Hour Rain Accumulation

Figure 1. RAIN-N Example Configuration

RAINN is rainfall accumulation of the last N hours, where N is selected by the user.

RAIN-N is a product of a product: You can sum any number of hours of individual RAIN1 products. The only limitation is the number of RAIN1 products stored on disk. The product output shows the last N hours of accumulation.

  1. Select Type > RAIN-N.
  2. Specify the product name.

    When you specify the name for the RAIN-N product, it is a good idea to indicate the integration time in the name, in the example, 03_HOUR.

    This makes it easier to identify the product in the Product Scheduler and Product Output menus.

  3. Configure the RAIN-N product:
    Rain1

    Specify the product name of the input hourly RAIN1 product by selecting the Rain1 button and choosing from a list of products or by typing the name in the field.

    When you enter a product name, the associated task information is displayed in the TASK Summary portion of the menu.

    Hours
    Specify the number of hours to integrate. When the product runs, it integrates data for the last N hours.
    If a RAIN1 product is missing for one of the hours in the interval, the algorithm assumes that no rain fell during that hour. The product output shows how many hours were integrated.
    Color Scale, Levels, and 1st Level/Step
    The color levels can be specified, but the resolution is fixed by the resolution of the RAIN1 configuration.
