Hi GEONETCasters! In the fourth entry in the series, the Global Blended TPW and TPW Anomaly Products received hourly through GNC-A.

“The blended TPW products, developed at CIRA with forecasters in mind, merges the TPW retrievals from various satellites/sensors/algorithms, currently including NOAA-18&-19, Metop-A&-B, S-NPP, GCOM-W1 and GPM, and also GOES-W, Met-GPS, to provide a unified global TPW map in supporting of the NWS users’ need.” (link)
