V5 to V6 Major Changes
(Minor format changes are not listed) |
| 1B21 |
Added Land/Ocean Flag values for high attenuation pixels.
|
| 2A12 |
Latent Heating is calculated. (It was filled with "missing" in V5.)
|
| 2A23 |
Added additional Bright Band parameters. Rain Type became 3-digit to add more detail.
|
| 2A25 |
Added Estimated Surface Rain.
Added Epsilon_0, the adjustment parameter computed from the surface reference and a priori attenuation assumptions.
Added precipitation water parameters.
Added copy of Rain Type from 2A23.
Added Final PIA and PIA from 2A21.
|
| 2B31 |
Added Latent Heating.
|
| 3A12 |
A new 0.5 x 0.5 degree gridded monthly product comprising mean 2A12 data and calculated vertical hydrometeor profiles as well as mean surface rainfall.
|
| 3A25 |
Added 140 variables, mostly statistics, on the new 2A23 Bright Band variables and the new 2A25 Estimated Surface Rain.
|
| 3B42 |
Extended spatial coverage to 50°S - 50°N, spatial resolution to 0.25° (V5 was 40°S - 40°N, 1.0°), and temporal resolution (granule size) to 3 hours. (V5 was 1 day.)
|
| 3B43 |
Extended spatial coverage to 50°S - 50°N and spatial resolution to 0.25° (V5 coverage was 40°S - 40°N, resolution 1.0°).
|
| CSH |
An experimental monthly gridded product, Convective/Stratiform Heating at 0.5° is added. (CSH is not a TRMM Standard Product.)
