Precipitation Data Access and Tools

NASA has a wide range of precipitation data, from hourly rainfall estimates to reanalysis datasets looking back decades. Our datasets and tools help users spot characteristics, trends, patterns, and anomalies in the precipitation that falls to Earth and understand how it affects natural areas and human communities.

TRMM and GPM Precipitation Products and Services at NASA's GES DISC

During this webinar we will provide an overview of TRMM and GPM precipitation data products and discuss the various ways to discover and access these data. We will also demonstrate the visualization and analysis tools and services provided by NASA's Goddard Earth Science Data and Information Services Center (GES DISC).
