# Model Card for chimp_smhi_v3

Retrieves surface precipitation and radar reflectivity from SEVIRI observations.


## Model Details

### Model Description

The chimp_smhi_v3 model is a 2+1D convolutional network that retrieves ground-based radar reflectivity
and surface precipitation estimates from 15-minute MeteoSat SEVIRI observations. It is trained used OPERA
and BALTRAD composite radar reflectivities as well as GPM CMB surface precipitation estimates.
