NOAA MRMS - dynamical.org Icechunk Zarr
The NOAA Multi-Radar/Multi-Sensor System (MRMS) integrates data from multiple radars and radar networks, surface observations, numerical weather prediction (NWP) models, and climatology to generate seamless, high spatio-temporal resolution mosaics at low latency focused on hail, wind, tornado, quantitative precipitation estimations, convection, icing, and turbulence. These datasets have been translated to cloud-optimized Icechunk Zarr format by [dynamical.org](https://dynamical.org). - [NOAA MRM

Useful for
- Use cases llm-inferred
- Hourly rainfall event reconstruction for a CONUS catchment, as a comparison case for UK flood-risk methods · Hourly precipitation time series as inputs for calibrating a hydrological model at a US site · Back-testing a drainage design against observed hourly rainfall at a US site
- Audience llm-inferred
- hydrologists · flood consultants · drainage engineers · GIS analysts · climate scientists
Limitations
- Constraints llm-inferred
- CONUS (USA) only; not usable for UK sites · Docs list only the hourly CONUS precipitation analysis; the broader MRMS products (hail, wind, tornado) in the description are not listed as offered · Spatial resolution and time span are not stated in the docs · Requires Zarr/Icechunk-capable tooling; not a plain GeoTIFF or CSV download · Translated by dynamical.org, not NOAA; no maintenance or continuity commitment is stated
