SSM/I Daily Derived Products

Gridded data of retrieved:

(1) column-integrated cloud liquid water (g/m2) computed using a Weng algorithm, and with a spatial resolution of 0.25 x 0.25 degrees;

(2)Column-integrated water vapor (gm/m2) using a Schlussel algorithm;and

(3)rainfall rates (mm/hr) from a Ferriday algorithm. Data are from SSM/I instruments on multiple platforms.

The values are on a rectangular grid.

Daily Gif images are included.
