End of SSMIS data coming to GPM Near Real-time Products

Department of Defense (DOD) FNMOC has announced its intention to shut down the current flow of operational SSMIS data on 30 June 2025. This is much earlier than the earlier announced date of September 2026, and would suspend the use of F16, F17, and F18 SSMIS data in GPM PPS. We are vigorously pursuing alternatives for continuing access to SSMIS data, but it seems likely that there will be an interruption, and perhaps end, to the SSMIS data streams. The lack of these 3 conically scanning radiometers will impact the accuracy of all IMERG products as they will have data from 3 fewer radiometers
