We are in the process of migrating all NASA Earth science data sites into Earthdata from now until end of 2026. Not all NASA Earth science data and resources will appear here until then. Thank you for your patience as we make this transition.Read about the Web Unification Project

Description
The RSS Monthly 1-deg Microwave Total Precipitable Water netCDF V7R00 dataset provides 1 degree gridded data for the monthly means of total precipitable water, a 20 year climatology file, and a cumulative file with data from 1988 to the current month. This includes the anomalies for global mean precipitable water over Ice Free Oceans (60S to 60N) and the tropical mean for 20S to 20N. Satellite information used in calculating the means is included for the SSMI (8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15) and SSMIS (16, 17), AQUA10 and Windsat(Coriolis). This dataset contains both netCDF3 and netCDF4 formatted files.
