3B41RT Data Outages


Due to system downtimes and/or late arrivals of source files, there are some missing files from the 3B41RT ftp site at ftp://trmmopen.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/merged/calibratedIR/. If all the selected files are missing, TOVAS will return an "Entire Grid Undefined"* message for graphic output, and a fill value of -99999.0000 for ASCII output. If the selected files contain missing and non-missing files, then TOVAS will return a normal output.

Please go to the ftp site, ftp://trmmopen.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/merged/calibratedIR/, to check if there are any missising files in the slected temporal range.

* NB: "Entire Grid Undefined" is also used to indicate missing data other than those of a missing file. For example, the coverage of the 3B42RT rain data is from 50S to 50N. Areas outside of this coverage have no data and are denoted by the fill value of -99999.0, as are any data holes within the coverage area. In either case, if a selected area is entirely in the fill value area, TOVAS will return an "Entire Grid Undefined" message for graphic output.
