Data Type: 3IMERGHH_GIS_1DAY

Data Set Long Name: Final IMERG Daily GIS-formatted

Version Number:V07

Data Set Description:This dataset provides, in a GIS-friendly format, the surface precipitation estimates and precipitation-phase information covering 24 hour periods at 0.1-degree resolution from April 2000 to a few months before the present.  The parent of this GIS product is the half-hour IMERG HDF5 data product. This GIS product is a zip file that contains two-byte TIFF files accompanied by ESRI WorldFile metadata.  The TIFF files contain either scaled units of precipitation accumulation (millimeters), scaled units of precipitation rate (millimeters per hour), or the percent likelyhood that 100% of the precipitation in a particular gridbox fell as liquid or mixed phase precipitation (i.e., not 100% solid-phase precipitation).  The grid covers the entire Earth, 90S to 90N and 180W to 180E although precipitation is not always estimated near the poles.
