Version 7 Final 30-Minute IMERG GIS

This dataset provides, in a GIS-friendly format, the surface precipitation estimates and precipitation-phase information covering 30-minute 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 likelihood that 100% of the precipitation in a particular grid box 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.
