The PPS (Precipitation Processing System) will be down today, September 20,2016 from 8:00am -2:00pm EDT (12:00 - 18:00 UTC). for scheduled maintenance. During this time all data transfers between PPS source and its consumer systems (GDAAC/DISC) as well as Science User services (FTP and STORM access) will be unavailable. You may contact PPS Operations at 301-614-5247 , 301-614-5184 or fax us at 301-614-5269 if there are any urgent matters requiring our immediate attention during this period. You will be informed when PPS systems become available. We apologize for any inconvenience this may

The PPS (Precipitation Processing System) will be down Sunday September 18, 2016 -estimated time from 10:00am to 6:00pm EDT (14:00 - 22:00 UTC) for Special Unscheduled Maintenance. Please note: although it is unlikely, due to unforeseen events PPS systems might be down overnight and only be available starting Monday morning, September 19, 2016. During this time, all data transfers between PPS source and its consumer systems (GDAAC/DISC) as well as Science User services (FTP and STORM access) will be unavailable. You may e-mail “sysgods@mail.pps.eosdis.nasa.gov” if there are any urgent matters

FNMOC is behind in providing the SSMIS data used in IMERG. Therefore, the Early and possibly Late IMERG products will contain less satellite estimates and be of somewhat lesser quality. FNMOC stopped providing data around 00 UTC today (8 September 2016), meaning there has been no data available from the three operational SSMIS sensors to the TMPA-RT datasets. As a result, more lower-quality IR-based estimates are being used. In addition, if there are dropouts in the IR data, there is a higher probability that gaps will appear in the combined product, 3B42RT. We will update the situation when

We are contacting you to report an problem where Version 4 GPM data products could not be read using the 4.2.2.1 version of netCDF. Users are recommended to upgrade to netCDF 4.3.3.1 or later. Any software (OPeNDAP, etc.) that uses older than netCDF Version 4.3.3.1 (what we tested, versions earlier in the 4.3 series may also work) will not be able to read GPM DF5 Version 4 data.

With the GPM Version 04 Update, PPS is also rolling out an interactive GPM NRT Viewer. This tool displays NRT Level 1C GMI, Level 2A GPROF, and Level 2A DPR data as soon as it is available in the NRT archive on a three-dimensional globe. Fields such as brightness temperature and surface precipitation rate are available for visualization, comparison, and improved data acquisition decision-making. You may Leave it running continuously as data refreshes with each segment, or use the navigation dropdown to look at specific events and time periods from the previous twelve hours. This viewer is

Due to continuing, intermittent anomalies in the F17 SSMIS 37v channel, starting from April 13, 2016 (Orbit # 48713 : 18:29:36) and forward all 1C F17 products will flag the 37V channel as bad data and the Brightness Temperatures will be missing. We apologize for any inconvenience or problems that this may cause and appreciate your understanding and patience. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
