Document Description

1AGMI contains unpacked packet data from GMI science data from the GMI passive
microwave instrument flown on the GPM satellite. Swath S1 has 9 channels which are
similar to TRMM TMI (10V 10H 19V 19H 23V 37V 37H 89V 89H). Swath S2 has 4
channels similar to AMSU-B (166V 166H 183+/-3V 183+/-8V). Data for both swaths
is observed in the same revolution of the instrument. Swath S3 has ScienceDataHeader.
Swath S4 has full rotation for low freq channels (S1). Swath S5 has full rotation for high
freq channels (S2).

Typhoon Kammuri Hits the Central Phiippines
While the Atlantic hurricane season officially ended on November 30th, Typhoon Kammuri (known as Tisoy in the Philippines), which recently struck the central Philippines as a powerful Category 4 typhoon, is a reminder that the Pacific typhoon season is not yet over. In fact, while typhoon season does peak from around June through November, similar to the Atlantic, typhoons can occur throughout the year in the Pacific. Kammuri first formed into a tropical depression from an area of low pressure on the 25th of November north of Micronesia in the west central Pacific about 500 miles southeast of Guam.
