GPM L3 GPROF Daily and Monthly and L3 CLIM GPROF products will be updated to V07C on September 07, 2023
Commencing with the data date of Friday September 1, 2023 all GPM L3 GPROF Daily and Monthly products will be updated to the designation
V07C. PPS will be making these V07C products available to the public starting on Thursday September 7, 2023.
The L3 CLIM GPROF data products will also be updated on Thursday September 7, 2023. These products will commence with the data start date of Thursday June 1, 2023 and also have the designation V07C.
This version update is necessary to correct the L3 gridded vertical hydrometeor profile means over the high latitude regions. This update identifies pixels with sea-ice or snow surface type and sets their hydrometeor profiles to missing so those pixels are excluded from the calculation of hydrometeor profile means.
PPS GPM L3 data processing will be on hold between September 1 and September 6, 2023 to close out GPM L3 GPROF Daily and Monthly V07B products through August 31 2023.
