Hello,

In an effort to better address user needs, the MRMS QPE products will be reorganized and expanded to include the following accumulation periods:  1,3,6,12,24,48,72-hour.  Start date is March 19, 2014.

If you're a user of MRMS QVS (http://mrms.ou.edu/) or have an existing agreement for customized data, no changes are required on your part. You may disregard the remainder of this email.


Users of MRMS QPE products in the MRMS native binary format may need to adjust their LDM and/or HTTP requests.  On March 19, 2014, the QPE directory structure and available products will change from ...

[QPE Product Suite]/1h_acc      (1hr QPEs; every 2-min)
[QPE Product Suite]/6h_24h_acc  (6 and 24hr QPEs; hourly)

to...

[QPE Product Suite]/1h_acc   (1hr QPEs; every 2-min)
[QPE Product Suite]/3h_acc   (3hr QPEs; hourly)
[QPE Product Suite]/6h_acc   (6hr QPEs; hourly)
[QPE Product Suite]/12h_acc  (12hr QPEs; hourly)
[QPE Product Suite]/24h_acc  (24hr QPEs; hourly)
[QPE Product Suite]/48h_acc  (48hr QPEs; daily at 12Z)
[QPE Product Suite]/72h_acc  (72hr QPEs; daily at 12Z) <- corrected

where 

[QPE Product Suite] = q3rad, q3rad_novprc, q3rad_gc, q3gauge


The switch will begin around 1500 UTC and should take no more than a few hours to complete.  Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Thanks,
Carrie Langston
