Two days before Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico, the NASA/JAXA Global Precipitation Measurement Core Observatory satellite captured a 3D view of the 2017 storm. At the time Maria was a category 1 hurricane. The 3-D view reveals the processes inside the hurricane that would fuel the storm’s intensification to a category 5 storm within 24 hours.
The Precipitation Processing System (PPS) will begin processing and reprocessing GPM Level 2 - Level 3 DPR and Combined data as version V06A. The switch to V06A for these products will begin with October 01, 2018 GPM data. This data will be available to the public after October 04, 2018 at the earliest once they have been reviewed and approved by the Science Team.
The following data products will be processed/reprocessed as V06A:
2AKa
2AKu
2ADPR
3DPRD
3DPR_ASC
3DPR_DES
3DPR

We have also attached these corresponding release notes for your convenience.
Our students desperately need to have some face to face time with scientists and engineers who are doing amazing things to make their world a better place. That means you guys! From time to time, you may be invited to give a presentation on your work to kids in some context- and we want to make it easier for you. You might even reach out yourself to your local school and offer to come in and give a talk.
#NASA's GPM IMERG data product was used to estimate the devastating heavy rainfall that fell on China and the Philippines from #TyphoonMangkhut. This video shows storm-total and 3-hourly precipitation accumulations from 9/11/17 - 9/17/18.
