GPM Version 07 Release Notes and Documentation

Please Note: This website contains documents describing Version 08 (V08) and Version 07 (V08) GPM data products. While researchers should generally use the latest version of GPM data products, this page also has links to documentation for prior versions of GPM data products. Changes and additions to data products will be announced via email and will also be posted to the "News and Updates" section of the PPS homepage. This page, along with the ATBD page (Algorithm Theoretical Basis Documents) webpage contains the most recent edition of the Version 7 IMERG documentation. The Version 08 and V07 documentation may be updated from time to time. The publication date of such documents are always stated on their title page.
