The GPM Combined product only seems to go back to the start of GPM - where is the TRMM-era data?

The same algorithm is applied to both eras of data, with adjustments for the individual instruments’ characteristics, but it is split into two datasets with different names that represent the two eras.

At the NASA Precipitation Processing System (PPS) the retrospective datasets are accessible with filenames that start with 2B.GPM.DPRGMI for GPM files and 2B.TRMM.PRTMI for TRMM files via:

IMPORTANT: PPS's "arthurhou" GPM Production Data Archive Temporarily Unavailable

On Friday January 31, 2025, PPS detected hardware issues with PPS's Production data archive "arthurhou". Because of reported file length discrepancies, PPS is suspending access to the the 'arthurhou' production data server until they can analyze and fully resolve these issues as soon as possible. All data archiving to 'arthurhou' will be turned off during this unscheduled maintenance period. GPM production data and PPS access systems such as STORM will NOT be available for processing during that time. Please be aware that GPM NRT data file access on 'jsimpson' remains unaffected during this
