Extension of IMERG half-hourly precipitation amount data set

We extended the IMERG (Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM) data set of the half-hourly estimates of the precipitation amount (intensity) in mm/hour by nine months. This data set (v07) is now available globally at 0.1 degree grid resolution for the period 2000-06-01 through 2025-08-31. For more information see:

ICDC Data Center

The Integrated Climate Data Center (ICDC) allows easy access to climate relevant data from in-situ measurements and satellite remote sensing. These data are important to determine the status and the changes in the climate system. Additionally some relevant re-analysis data are included, which are modeled on the basis of observational data.
