Version v6
Global Satellite Mapping of Precipitation (GSMaP) provides a global hourly rain rate with a 0.1 x 0.1 degree resolution. GSMaP is a product of the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission, which provides global precipitation observations at three hour intervals. Values are estimated using multi-band passive microwave and infrared radiometers from the GPM Core Observatory satellite and with the assistance of a constellation of other satellites. GPM’s precipitation rate retrieval algorithm is based on a radiative transfer model. The gauge-adjusted rate is calculated based on the optimization of the 24h accumulation of GSMaP hourly rain rate to daily precipitation by NOAA/CPC gauge measurement. This dataset is processed by GSMaP algorithm version 6 (product version 3). See GSMaP Technical Documentation for more details.
The operational GSMaP dataset (from 2014 to present) is also provided as JAXA/GPM_L3/GSMaP/v6/operational.
Name | Description |
---|---|
satelliteInfoFlag | Satellite/sensor used |
hourlyPrecipRate | Snapshot of hourly precipitation rate |
hourlyPrecipRateGC | Snapshot of hourly precipitation rate adjusted to rain gauge |
observationTimeFlag | Relative time from the starting time of the file to the time of microwave radiometer (imager/sounder) observing. If no observation exists within the hourly window, the time will be the negative number of hours since the last observation. |
gaugeQualityInfo | Existence of gauge adjustment when the status is 'provisional', 1 indicates adjusted and 0 is non-adjusted. When the status is 'permanent', the pixel value is the daily average of number of gauges used for adjustment in the pixel. |
