PPS is releasing GPM V05 DPR L1-L3 and Combined L2 and L3 V05 data products today, Wednesday May 17, 2017. This V05 data will be available beginning with May 01, 2017 data and forward. The DPR Level 3 monthly products will be released when validated. Reprocessed V05 DPR and Combined data for March 2014 through April 2017 will take several weeks to complete. This data will appear in PPS's arthurhou archive as we reprocess (6 to 8 weeks - estimated completion time). Registered users can obtain data from: ftp://arthurhou.pps.eosdis.nasa.gov/ and can order this through STORM: https://storm.pps...

Effective approximately 04:00 UTC, 9 May 2017 the near-realtime swath products (GMI, partner constellation, radar and combined) will be upgraded from V04 to V05. During the conversion the latency of near-realtime will be affected as all the new code and support files need to be modified to carry out this upgrade. We hope this will take no more than 2 hours but can not guarantee it might not be longer. We will start with the upgrade of radar products, followed as quickly as possible by GMI and then the partner constellation products. We are starting with the radar as this requires close...
The GPM project has reprocessed all the original NRT IMERG data both EARLY and LATE to product version V04A. In addition, this reprocessing brought the IMERG dataset back to the beginning of the GPM mission in March 2014. The original NRT IMERG started its processing in March of 2015. Currently only the HDF5 products have been reprocessed to V04A. The TIFF/TFW versions will also be reprocessed but this will take a while longer. The V04 products are located in the directories early/YYYYMM and late/YYYYMM respectively. A subdirectory V03 has been created within those directories and the V03 data...
The Precipitation Processing System has begun the transition to GPM Version 5 products. The satellite observations made in April 2017 will be the last observations to be included in Version 4 of the GPM data products, with one exception. Starting with observations made in May 2017, PPS will generate Version 5 GPM data products, again with one exception. The exception in both cases is that the PPS Realtime system will continue to generate the Version 4 Early and Late IMERG data products. Version 4 data products have been removed from the STORM data ordering system ( https://storm.pps.eosdis...
During the initial setup up for V04 IMERG, an error was made in the configuration for running the EARLY version of IMERG. This affected the V04A early data from Feb 5 - March 12, 2017. This error caused the early and the late products to be identical. Given that the LATE product is the more accurate product this might not be an issue for many users. However, users who need a consistent approach in the early data will need to download IMERG early Feb 5-March 12, 2017 again. On April 12, 2017 at about 16:55 UTC Feb 5-Feb 28, 2017 files have been rerun and are available from their usual location...
