The GEOS-FP meteorology data, depending\non the product, are available in real time. The IMERG Late precipitation data\nare available within 12 hours. The following are the descriptions, per layer.<\/span><\/p><p style='text-indent:-.25in;'><\/p><ul><li><span style='color:#404040;'><i>Total Column\nWater Vapor<\/i> from GEOS5 FP 2d time-averaged single level\ndiagnostics, in (kg/m^2). Together with winds at 850 mb, this layer manifests\nconvergence and elevated amounts of water vapor over Texas. These amounts are\ncomparable to what can be seen over the Tropical Depression  Chantal, located off the east coast of Florida\nat that time.<\/span><\/li><li><span style='color:#404040;'><i>UV850.07.04.2025<\/i> reports wind field at 850 mb, from  GEOS5 FP 2d\ntime-averaged single level diagnostics. The wind field explains the advection and\nconsecutively convergence of water vapor over the parts of Texas known as the \u201cFlash\nFlood Alley\u201d<\/span><\/li><li><span style='color:#404040;'><i>Total Daily\nPrecipitation<\/i> from IMERG Daily Late dataset, in (inch), for July 4. It\nshould be noted that   IMERG effectively represents 10-km spatial\naveraging and hence cannot be compared with extremes observed by local rain\ngauges.<\/span><\/li><li><span style='color:#404040;'><i>Day Equivalent<\/i> displays a<\/span>ccumulated precipitation for July 4, from IMERG Late, expressed as\nexpected daily precipitation for July, based on 1998-2024 base period. It can\nalso be called &quot;daily equivalent&quot; - values like &quot;30&quot; mean\nthat amounts equivalent to expected 30 days precipitation were received.<\/li><li><i>1 Day Ranking<\/i> displays the ranking of accumulated precipitation on July 4, 2025. Rankings are shown as percentiles in each grid cell, comparing to the values of July observations in the corresponding grid cell from the base period 1998-2024. Areas in gray show where record daily accumulations occurred on that day, not seen in the 27 years of the base period.<\/li><\/ul><div><b>Suggested Use<\/b><\/div><div>The wind vector field can be overlayed with the water vapor to understand the convergence of large amounts of water vapor over Texas. The wind field also manifests strong persistent ridging (the clockwise circulation), east from the event, and that ridging played major role in the stalling of the weather disturbance. The extreme amounts of precipitation align with the extremes in the total column water vapor. Precipitation amounts equivalent to normally expected 30-45 days were received actually for less than a day, in fact for about 12 hours, upstream from Kerrville over the Guadalupe River.        <\/div><div><br /><\/div><div><b>Resolution<\/b><\/div><div><div>Spatial: 0.1 ° x 0.1 °<\/div><div><br /><\/div><\/div><div><b>Sensor<\/b><\/div><div><div><i>Input precipitation data from:<\/i><\/div><div>Huffman, G.J., E.F.
