GPM 3GPROFNOAA19MHS: Daily Satellite Precipitation Profiles

Version 07 is the current version of this data set. 3GPROF products provide global gridded daily precipitation averages from multiple satellites. The products are based on retrievals from high-quality microwave sensors sensitive to liquid and ice-phase precipitation hydrometeors.

Use Cases

• Climate trend analysis based on global gridded precipitation averages
• Atmospheric hydrometeor study based on microwave sensor retrievals
• Satellite data validation based on high-quality sensor measurements

Strengths

• Version 07 is the current and authoritative version
• Data is based on retrievals from high-quality microwave sensors
• Provides global gridded precipitation averages

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
