As previously announced, with the recent release of the long-record V06B IMERG Early, Late, and Final products in late summer of 2019, processing of the TMPA-RT and TMPA products is ending, with December 2019 being the final month of data. This means that TMPA-RT products have already ceased production and the TMPA products will end with December 2019 (expected by March 2020).

These legacy products will continue to be hosted at PPS and GES DISC to allow users sufficient time to...
