Description

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 8 (product version 5). See GSMaP Technical Documentation for more details.

This dataset contains provisional products GSMaP_NRT that are regularly replaced with updated versions when the GSMaP_MVK data become available. The products are marked with a metadata property called ''status''. When a product is initially made available, the property value is ''provisional''. Once a provisional product has been updated with the final version, this value is updated to ''permanent''. For more information please refer General Documentation

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.
