    • NASA MEASURES Precipitation Ensemble based on SSM/I DMSP F11 NASA PPS L1C V06 Tbs 1-orbit L2 Swath 12x12km V1 (PRECIP_SSMI_F11) at GES DISC

    Metadata Updated: December 7, 2023

    The data presented in this level 2 orbital product are rain rate estimates expressed as mm/hour determined from brightness temperatures (Tbs) obtained from the Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) flown on the US Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) F11 mission. Most of the products generated in this data set are based upon the algorithms developed for the 3rd Algorithm Intercomparison Project (AIP-3) of the Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP). Details of these 15 algorithms and development of a quality score which is a measure of confidence in the estimate, along with processing and algorithmic flags, can be found in the Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document (ATBD). The data in this product cover the period from 1991 to 2000 with one file per orbit.
