Description

Version 07 is the current version of the data set. Older versions will no longer be available and have been superseded by Version 07.
.

The precipitation estimates in the 3DPRD product are a subset of those in the full daily 3DPR product; the retrieval estimates are the same. Since this is a subset, the product is smaller, and Level 3 DPR products present the user with summary information over daily and monthly time periods. These gridded products are in a convenient gridded form and can be used easily in comparisons with other satellite and ground data. 

    The Level 3 DPR joint algorithm subsets precipitation estimates from the Level 3 daily products. In addition, it adds time information from Level 2 instantaneous data to give a date/time for the last measurement in each grid box. The product contains one 0.25 x 25 km grid with separate indices for the ascending and descending parts of the GPM orbit.

Variables

Variables are a set of physical properties whose values determine the characteristics or behavior of something. For example, temperature and pressure are variables of the atmosphere. Parameters and variables can be used interchangeably. Variable level attributes provide individual information for each variable.

The Name in this table is the variable name. Fill value indicates missing or undefined data points in a variable. Valid range is the range of values the variable can store. Scale factor is used to increase or decrease the size of an object and can be used to correct for distortion. For questions on a specific variable, please use the Earthdata Forum.
