GPCP Precipitation Level 3 Monthly 0.5-Degree V3.3 (GPCPMON)
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR and NASA Data Portal — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.5067/measures/gpcp/data306
Version 3.3 is the current version.
Description
Older versions have been superseded by Version 3.3. Product latency/update: The products are currently paused at September 2024 because the IR input dataset from NCEI requires a new calibration scheme to extend past that point.
Once NCEI irons out the calibration, we expect to return to quarterly updates. The Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP) is the precipitation component of an internationally coordinated set of (mainly) satellite-based global products dealing with the Earth's water and energy cycles, under the auspices of the Global Water and Energy Experiment (GEWEX) Data and Assessment Panel (GDAP) of the World Climate Research Program.

As the follow on to the GPCP Version 2.X products, GPCP Version 3 (GPCP V3.3) seeks to continue the long, homogeneous precipitation record using modern merging techniques and input data sets. The GPCPV3 suite currently consists the 0.5-degree monthly and daily products. A follow-on 0.1-degree 3-hourly is expected.
All GPCPV3 products will be internally consistent. Inputs consist of the GPROF SSMI/SSMIS orbit files that are used to calibrate the PERSIANN-CDR IR-based precipitation in the region 58°N-S, which are in turn adjusted to the monthly climatological MCTG. Outside of 58°N-S, TOVS/AIRS estimates, adjusted climatologically to the MCTG, are used.
The PERSIANN-CDR/TOVS/AIRS estimates are then merged in the region 35°N-S-58°N-S, which are then merged with GPCC gauge analyses over land to obtain the final product. In addition to the final precipitation field, ancillary precipitation and error estimates are provided.
