GPM DPR Precipitation Profile L2A 1.5 hours 5 km V08 (GPM_2ADPR)
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR and NASA Data Portal — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.5067/gpm/dpr/gpm/2a/08
Version 08 is the current version of the data set.
Description
Older versions will no longer be available and have been superseded by Version 08. . 2ADPR provides single- and dual-frequency-derived precipitation estimates from the Ku and Ka radars of the Dual-Frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR) on the core GPM spacecraft. The output consists of three main classes of precipitation products: those derived from the Ku-band frequency over a wide swath (245 km), those derived from the Ka-band frequency over a narrow swath (125 km), and those derived from the dual-frequency data over the narrow swath.
The Ka-band results are further divided into the standard and high-sensitivity estimates. In the standard sensitivity mode, the fields of view within the inner swath are matched to those of the Ku-band. Data from these matched-beam Ku- and Ka-band fields of view are used to derive the dual-frequency precipitation products.

The retrievals are performed at each radar range bin along the slant path of the radar instrument field of view (IFOV).
