Description

This is a discontinued TRMM product from the old version '6' suite that is in a state of permament preservation. The most recent replacement can be found by following this DOI: 10.5067/GPM/PRTMI/TRMM/CSH/3B-MONTH/07. The latter should also be better cross-calibrated with the continuation GPM combined Dual-Frequency Precipitation Radar and GPM Microwave Imager latent heating product: 10.5067/GPM/DPRGMI/CSH/3B-MONTH/07.

The version '6' dataset is output from the old Goddard Convective-Stratiform Heating (CSH) algorithm. The dataset contains global 0.5 x 0.5 monthly latent heating profiles from surface convective rain rate and surface stratiform rain rate.
