MRMS Product Glossary

Source: NSSL Operational MRMS GRIB2 Tables, current for MRMS v12.2 (accessed 2026-07-29). Reference: nssl.noaa.gov/projects/mrms/operational/tables.php · Full CSV: github.com/NOAA-National-Severe-Storms-Laboratory/mrms-support
All GRIB2 filenames are prefixed MRMS_ (e.g. folder ReflectivityAtLowestAltitude_00.50 → file MRMS_ReflectivityAtLowestAltitude_00.50_YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.grib2.gz). The trailing number in a folder name (e.g. _00.50) is the field's vertical level in km, not a version number. Products marked with 33 lvls appear in the S3 bucket as ~33 separate height-level folders (500 m–19,000 m CAPPI) — collapsed to one row here.
