With the GPM Version 04 Update, PPS is also rolling out an interactive GPM NRT Viewer. This tool displays NRT Level 1C GMI, Level 2A GPROF, and Level 2A DPR data as soon as it is available in the NRT archive on a three-dimensional globe. Fields such as brightness temperature and surface precipitation rate are available for visualization, comparison, and improved data acquisition decision-making. You may Leave it running continuously as data refreshes with each segment, or use the navigation dropdown to look at specific events and time periods from the previous twelve hours. This viewer is...

Due to continuing, intermittent anomalies in the F17 SSMIS 37v channel, starting from April 13, 2016 (Orbit # 48713 : 18:29:36) and forward all 1C F17 products will flag the 37V channel as bad data and the Brightness Temperatures will be missing. We apologize for any inconvenience or problems that this may cause and appreciate your understanding and patience. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
