Daily Global and Regional Rainfall (TMPA-RT 3B42RT derived)

This interface is designed for visualization and analysis of the Daily Global and Regional Rainfall (TMPA-RT 3B42RT derived).
Users can generate plots or ASCII Output for area average (Lat-Lon Map), time series (Time Series), and Hovmoller diagram. The animation is available for Lat-Lon Maps. Selecting here or the Help buttons will open a new window with detailed help. More details about the data are also available.

Data Outages: List of all the missing TMPA-RT files
Note:
TMPA-RT is an experimental product. It is produced quasi-operationally on a best-effort basis at TSDIS, with on-going scientific development by a research team in the GSFC Laboratory for Atmospheres. As such, users are encouraged to report their experiences with the data, and they should expect episodic upgrades or outages as the system develops.
