Historical Radar Data Services

OneRain maintains one of, if not the most complete record of historical, nationwide radar archive in the United States. OneRain collects and stores this nationwide radar mosaic every five minutes. Historical records of the mosaics are maintained in OneRain’s nationwide radar archive:

• 2-km x 2km, 15-minute data from 1993 to the present
• 1-km x 1km, 5-minute data from 2002 to the present

Either supplied by the customer or procured by OneRain, local rain gauge data are used to calibrate radar-estimates for specific customer applications using a spatially distributed adjustment process. This process can correct different spatial and temporal errors concurrently over the area of interest.

StormData™ Real-time, Future, and Historical Rainfall Data Services

Gauge-Adjusted Radar Rainfall (GARR) marries rain gauge measurement at a point with the spatially distributed information from NEXRAD radars to give you ground truthed, spatially distributed rainfall information over your area of interest.

Accurate estimation of the spatial distribution of rainfall is critical to successfully model hydrologic processes. OneRain works with organizations across to U.S. to provide calibrated radar rainfall data to help characterize storm events or flow problems in collection systems, and as a basis for both real-time and design-oriented modeling. Real-time, future, historical rainfall data are used in Rainfall Runoff Modeling, Stormwater Modeling, Inflow/Infiltration, NPDES, Flood Warning, Design Storms, and TDML. OneRain also provides expert witness services for litigation cases that rest on understanding the rainfall at a particular place and time.

OneRain has precipitation records dating back from 1993 to the present.

OneRain uses an innovative approach to derive rainfall rates from each 1-km2 or 2-km2 radar pixel and calibrates these rates using rain gauge data to deliver ground-truthed rainfall estimates. StormData radar processing has evolved continuously since 1994 into the data quality management system required to produce archive quality data for flood warning, hydrology models for stormwater and sewer systems modeling, rainfall-dependent inflows/infiltrations (RDII) studies, litigation, real-time control, design storms and EPA National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) compliance activities.
