Monthly TMI rain, latent heat, cloud liquid water profiles (3A12 V6)

This interface is designed for visualization and analysis of the Monthly TMI rain, latent heat, cloud liquid water profiles (3A12 V6). Users can generate plots or ASCII Output for area average (Lat-Lon Map), Time Series, and Hovmoller diagram. The animation is available only for Area Plot. Selecting here or the Help buttons will open a new window with detailed help. More details about the data are also available.

Note: The latent heating products of TRMM 2A12 and 3A12 over ocean surfaces should be regarded as experimental. Please confer first with the algorithm developers (by contacting the GES DISC) when using the latent heating product over ocean. Over-land latent heating estimates from TRMM products 2A12 and 3A12 should not be used, as they have not been evaluated quantitatively or qualitatively.
