About

MIMIC-TPW2 is an experimental global product of total precipitable water (TPW), using morphological compositing of the MIRS retrieval of TPW from every available operational microwave-frequency satellite sensor.

The specific technique of morphological compositing used here ("blended advection") is described in a 2010 paper by Wimmers and Velden.

Stay tuned for a more in-depth technical description of the product, which is still in development. In the meantime, be sure to inspect the Diagnostic view of the product animations for a better sense of the product's contributing elements.
