On Sunday June 17, 2018 PPS System Programmers and staff will be performing an important scheduled GPM archive server upgrade. Due to this upgrade process, most PPS systems and services will be unavailable for most or all of that day starting at 9:00 AM (EDT) and lasting until late afternoon or longer depending upon the upgrade circumstances. -It is important to note that GPM (NRT) near realtime services (SDPS and ftp://jsimpson.pps.eosdis.nasa.gov/) will remain available and unaffected during this period. -PPS's Aeolus server ( ftp://aeolus.pps.eosdis.nasa.gov/) will only provide near real

PPS will retro process 3B42/43 for March 2018. We were informed that the GPCC Monitoring Product (rainguage data) received for March 2018 had an error in processing. If you have obtained any of these products from our archive or through a Standing Order, etc., please discard and use the replacement products when available. We will process the products as soon as the replacement GPCC product is received. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

PPS will replace GPM Ka/Ku L1B products from JAXA and will reprocess the affected data including Level 2 and 3 data. If you have already obtained products with orbit#24203 from our archive or through a standing order, etc., please discard and use the replacement products when available. PPS will replace the following GPM Ka/Ku L1B data: GPMCOR_KAR_1806020955_1128_024203_1BS_DAB_05B.h5 GPMCOR_KUR_1806020955_1128_024203_1BS_DUB_05B.h5 PPS will reprocess the affected L2-3 downstream products. If you have obtained any of these products from our archive or through a Standing Order, etc., please

The STORM Swath-Based Analysis Tool ( https://storm.pps.eosdis.nasa.gov/storm/Analysis.jsp) is a better way to explore and order targeted Level 2 data. Select one or more instruments from a list going back to the beginning of the TRMM mission, provide a date range, and input a geographic region of interest. Once you hit "Get Granules for Chart," a graph will appear and data points will begin to display. These points represent the mean precipitation rate value for all of the pixels for that orbit of that instrument over that geographic region. Once the graph loading is paused or complete

PPS will start to process the TRMM TMI level 2 and level 3 GPROF products, the core member of the TRMM era GPROF products family, on Thursday, April 19, 2018. Similar to the early released TRMM era AMSRE, AMSUB, SSMI, MHS, SSMIS, AMSR2 and ATMS level 2 and level 3 products, all level 2 and level 3 GPROF products will be produced as GPM version V05, all products are in HDF5 format, all product names will use the GPM naming convention and the produced data will appear both in STORM: https://storm.pps.eosdis.nasa.gov/storm/ and on "arthurhou": ftp://arthurhou.pps.eosdis.nasa.gov/ after these are

The Level 2 GPM Precipitation Retrieval and Profiling Scheme (PRPS) product for SAPHIR on the Megha-Tropiques satellite are available both in STORM: https://storm.pps.eosdis.nasa.gov/storm/ and on "arthurhou": ftp://arthurhou.pps.eosdis.nasa.gov/ The SAPHIR PRPS products have been processed back to data date October 13, 2011. NASA requires users to register at: https://registration.pps.eosdis.nasa.gov/registration/ to access PPS data services. The Level 2 PRPS product is a new member of the GPM Level 2 product family. It is intended to exploit the capabilities of the passive microwave sounding

With the evaluation and approval, PPS will start to process the TRMM era AMSRE, AMSUB and SSMI level 2 and level 3 GPROF products on Wednesday, February 7, 2018. Similar to the early released TRMM era MHS, SSMIS, AMSR2 and ATMS level 2 and level 3 products, all level 2 and level 3 GPROF products will be produced as GPM version V05, all products are in HDF5 format, all product names will use the GPM naming convention and the produced data will appear both in STORM: https://storm.pps.eosdis.nasa.gov/storm/ and on "arthurhou": ftp://arthurhou.pps.eosdis.nasa.gov/ after these are produced.

Effective 27 January 2018 all the IMERG Early products have a retrospective V05B processing for the entire GPM mission starting in March 2014. All V04 products have been saved in a V04 directory. V03 products are no longer available. Effective 27 January 2018 IMERG Late products have a retrospective V05B processing from the beginning of the mission in March 2014 to January 2017. We continue to process Late products and they should be completed in another week. We are also working on retrospective processing to V05B of the GIS friendly TIFF IMERG based products. These should all be at V05B in
