IMERG V07 Final Processing has Begun

Retrospective processing of IMERG V07 Final Run has commenced as of July 2023 using the new IMERG V07 algorithm. The TRMM and GPM eras are being processed in parallel, starting at the beginning of each dataset, with a projected end date no later than Nov. 2023. IMERG V06 and V07 are sufficiently different that users are discouraged from mixing data from the two versions. V07 Early and Late Run processing will commence after the Final Run is completed. The projected timeline for IMERG V07 processing is shown in the figure below. IMERG download links are listed on the GPM website Data Directory

Calvin Becomes First Major 2023 Hurricane in the East Pacific

GPM Overpass of Hurricane Calvin on July 14
Monday, July 17, 2023
After a quiet start, the 2023 eastern Pacific hurricane season recently picked up in activity with the formation of the season’s first major hurricane, Hurricane Calvin. Calvin originated on July 11 from an area of low pressure located about 510 miles (~820 km) south-southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico, which had become organized enough for the National Hurricane Center (NHC) to declare it Tropical Depression 3E (TD 3E) that afternoon. Located over warm sea surface temperatures (SSTs) of around 84 oF (29 oC), thunderstorm activity near the center of TD 3E continued to increase overnight, and

IMERG V07 FAQ for Applications Users

Date Last Updated
February 24th, 2025
Document Description

This FAQ document provides information specifically aimed at the Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) Version 07 for applications users. As of August 2024, both Initial Processing (IP) and retrospective processing (RP) for the IMERG Early, Late and Final products have been completed for Version 07. IMERG V07 involves a wide range of changes to all aspects of the product, many of which are implemented in response to feedback on V06, which was the first time the IMERG record spanned the TRMM and GPM eras.

Status of IMERG V07 Final Run Reprocessing

PPS has begun to generate the IMERG V07 Final data product. In the coming months, PPS will create IMERG V07 Final files for the entire period of record, which starts in June 2000. PPS will finish reprocessing Version 07 Final IMERG before starting to generate the V07 near real-time (NRT) IMERG data products. The NRT IMERG data products are IMERG Early (with 4-hour latency) and IMERG Late (with 14-hour latency). Early and Late IMERG reprocessing is currently scheduled to begin in November 2023, and it will take PPS several months to create the full period of record (June 2000 to present)
