Data set update: AMSR-E/Aqua L2B Global Swath Surface Precipitation GSFC Profiling Algorithm, Version 4

The latest version of AMSR-E/Aqua L2B Global Swath Surface Precipitation GSFC Profiling Algorithm, Version 4 data set, accessible through the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC), was released in the last year and data reprocessing is now complete. The full temporal coverage, 1 June 2002 to 4 October 2011 is available.

This data set includes instantaneous surface precipitation rate and type over ice-free/snow-free land and ocean between 89.24 degrees north and south latitudes at a 10 km spatial resolution along the track and 5 km along the scan.
