02/26/2024 - PPS releases 'tkio-3.101.' Click here for details.

02/14/2024 - From Monday March 04, 2024 to Wednesday March 06, 2024, PPS will not distribute the data of GPM and its partners. Click here for details.

01/18/2024 - V07B IMERG Final Run Retrospective Processing Completed. Click here for details.

12/12/2023 - On December 12, 2023, PPS will start to create the Version 07B Final IMERG product. This reprocessing will correct the anomalous precipitation found in some V07A Final IMERG files due to bad input data. Click here for details.

12/02/2023 - The GPM satellite experienced an anomaly and went into Safe Mode around 00:40 UTC on December 2, 2023 or (19:40 EST December 1, 2023). The GPM satellite has returned to Mission Science Mode. The DPR Ku/Ka radars have returned to operational science mode and are collecting data as of 16:41UTC on December 05, 2023. GPM data will be released after the products are verified by the science team. Note that post-boost DPR data continues to be held from public distribution. Updates will be posted to this website as important details are provided.

11/08/2023 - The GPM Core Satellite Boost (Nov 07-08, 2023) to the new orbit altitude has completed. Everything is nominal. (Please see GMI Footprint Changes Due to 35 km Altitude Boost). The GPM DPR instrument data will take more time to evaluate in detail. Updates will be posted as important information becomes available.

NEW (Nov. 2024): RAIN-Global (Regional Animations of IMERG in Near-realtime - Global Edition)

RAIN-Global is the next-generation, 3D global, fully interactive upgrade to RAIN. Click the image below to try it!

Analysis Tool

About:

RAIN is a web interface that serves 7-day animations of precipitation rates and accumulations from IMERG data, as well as cloudiness from geosynchronously observed IR data, for several regions on Earth. The map above shows precipitation accumulations for the most recent available date (default) or the date selected with the controls. Click a region on the map to see an animation of the data!



Notes:

IR cloudiness data have been smoothed to cover occasional missing values. This tool is intended to be used for exploratory data analysis and not for research or operations. Animations and images are updated on a "best effort" basis.



Comments/Suggestions:

Please send any suggestions you have about this tool to the PPS Help Desk.
