Available NASA Precipitation Datasets

A NASA Precipitation Dataset is defined to be a dataset from the NASA Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Mission. As of now, NASAPrecipitation.jl supports the following Level 3 products:

  • GPM IMERGv6, 0.1º resolution, 60ºS to 60ºN

    • Final runs for Half-Hourly, Daily and Monthly Data

    • Early and Late runs of Half-Hourly and Daily Data

  • TRMM TMPAv7, 0.25º resolution, 50ºS to 50ºN

    • Final runs for 3-Hourly, Daily and Monthly Data

    • Near Real-Time runs of 3-Hourly and Daily Data

The NASAPrecipitationDataset Type has two sub-Types:

  • The IMERGDataset for the GPM IMERG Dataset

  • The TRMMDataset for the TRMM TMPA Dataset

Each of these Abstract superTypes has its own set of Types. See the summary table below for an overview, and the respective pages for GPM IMERG and TRMM TMPA for more information.

All subTypes of the NASAPrecipitationDataset have the same basic fields and structure.
