Description
Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) is an international satellite mission to provide next-generation observations of rain and snow worldwide every three hours. The Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) is the unified algorithm that provides rainfall estimates combining data from all passive-microwave instruments in the GPM Constellation.
This algorithm is intended to intercalibrate, merge, and interpolate all satellite microwave precipitation estimates, together with microwave-calibrated infrared (IR) satellite estimates, precipitation gauge analyses, and potentially other precipitation estimators at fine time and space scales for the TRMM and GPM eras over the entire globe. The system is run several times for each observation time, first giving a quick estimate and successively providing better estimates as more data arrive. The final step uses monthly gauge data to create research-level products. See IMERG Technical Documentation for more details on the algorithm.
Documentation:
This collection contains provisional products that are regularly replaced with updated versions when the data become available. The products are marked with a metadata property called 'status'. When a product is initially made available, the property value is 'provisional'. Once a provisional product has been updated with the final version, this value is updated to 'permanent'.
This collection contains data from:
