GPM

The GPM core observatory satellite passed above forming tropical storm Nate (TD16) on October 5, 2017 at 5:46 AM EDT (0946 UTC). TD16 was located in the western Caribbean near the coast of Nicaragua with winds of about 34.5 mph (30 kts). Data received by GPM's Microwave Imager (GMI) and Dual-Frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR) shows bands of rain producing heavy rainfall East of TD16's center of circulation. Downpours in the Caribbean Sea East of Nicaragua were measured by GPM's Radar (DPR Ku Band) dropping rain at a rate of over 6.4 inches (162 mm) per hour. This close-up 3-d cross section

With the completion of the TRMM version 8 level 1 processing, PPS will start to process the TRMM era GPM constellation level 1 data on Friday October 6, 2017. Similar to the TRMM version 8 level 1 product, all level 1 constellation 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/ PPS will reprocess the entire TRMM era constellation data. All users are encouraged to

Starting with data date October 01, 2017, the Level 2-Level 3 GPROF data for METOPA, METOPB, NOAA18, NOAA19 (MHS) and NPP ATMS partner products will be running new code and produced as product version V05C. These code changes are relatively minor and primarily affect the outer edges of the swath. Processing of the V05C data will start tomorrow on Wednesday October 04, 2017. Notable changes include : ------------------------------------------- The V05C GPROF of the Cross-track sensors allows for more usable pixels on the outside of the MHS and ATMS scans as compared to the previous version.
