Data News

Presently, PPS web services are experiencing intermittent unavailability and/or slow response times. PPS is aware of this issue and our System Programmers are working diligently to correct these issues. The current anomaly affects our arthurhou server which include the PPS Public site http://pps.gsfc.nasa.gov/ , FTP services, STORM: https://storm.pps.eosdis.nasa.gov/ and THOR (THOR online) , etc. We hope to have all these services restored to normal as soon as possible and will keep you informed as the situation changes. We regret any inconvenience that this may cause and kindly appreciate...
Effective about 18 UTC July 21 the GPM MOC stopped sending data to the PPS. This was not a satellite or instrument issue. The problem appeared to be a network connection issue at the Emergency MOC which is currently receiving data as part of a monthly test of the backup facility. Effective 21:41 UTC the data flow from the MOC to PPS resumed. Apparently there was a major network issue on that part of the network. It has now been fixed and MOC is sending data again.
PPS is releasing version 3.70.4 of the PPS TKIO toolkit for TRMM/GPM products. This package, sample files, and the supporting documentation can be found at: ftp://gpmweb2.pps.eosdis.nasa.gov/pub/PPStoolkit/GPM/tkio-3.70.4/ Learn more about the TKIO toolkit here: http://pps.gsfc.nasa.gov/ppstoolkit.html If you have any questions please contact the PPS Helpdesk:​ helpdesk@pps-mail.nascom.nasa.gov
Starting at 16:33 UTC July 6 a filled log directory led to sh commands failing on redirecting logs to be created in that directory. A typo in the cleanup routine failed to clean our all the files after the normal 4 days. As a result they have been accumulating since the beginning of the mission. It is unexpected that the sh failed when it could not redirect anymore. All data products that failed have been created and put in the appropriate directories. However, this will mean a failure in the data latency requirements for some of the GMI L1B and GPROF and a few combined products.
Starting at 08:38 UTC PPS stopped getting data from the GPM Mission Operations Center. Data was resumed at 17:21 UTC. However, new GPS data was sent before older GPS data. The science data was sent out of order with the GPS data. This meant that about 125 mins of 1B and 1C GMI data had no geolocation and perhaps more after this had questionable geolocation. The same issues obviously also affected the radar and combined NRT which are just missing for the period between 8:30 UTC and 17:30 UTC. All of these issues impacted the early version of the IMERG data. The late product will also be...
