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.
