We are in the process of migrating all NASA Earth science data sites into Earthdata from now until end of 2026. Not all NASA Earth science data and resources will appear here until then. Thank you for your patience as we make this transition.

Precipitation Rate Data Access and Tools
NASA’s precipitation rate data rang from atmosphere cloud and surface geophysical state measurements to datasets combining precipitation data from multiple instruments. Our datasets and tools help users find and integrate the data they need to understand how quickly precipitation is falling across Earth and its effects.
