  "term": "Quantitative precipitation estimation",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The process of estimating the amount of precipitation that has fallen over a specific geographic area during a defined time interval. This technique integrates data from multiple sources, including weather radar, satellite imagery, and surface rain gauges, to produce a spatially continuous field of rainfall amounts. The final output is a gridded data product where each grid cell value represents the estimated precipitation depth, expressed in units like millimeters or inches for periods such as one hour or 24 hours.",
