3-hourly Rainfall
| This interface is designed for visualization and analysis of the 3-hourly Rainfall. Users can generate plots or ASCII Output for area average (Lat-Lon Map), time series (Time Series), and Hovmoller diagram. The animation is available for Lat-Lon Maps. Selecting here or the Help buttons will open a new window with detailed help. More details about the data are also available. |

| Software Upgrade: | An upgrade of the MPA-RT software was installed after the 07Z 3 February 2005 observation time. (read more) |
| Note: | 3B42RT is an experimental product. It is produced quasi-operationally on a best-effort basis at TSDIS, with on-going scientific development by a research team in the GSFC Laboratory for Atmospheres. As such, users are encouraged to report their experiences with the data, and they should expect episodic upgrades or outages as the system develops. |
