Precipitation Rate Data Access and Tools
NASA’s precipitation rate data rang from atmosphere cloud and surface geophysical state measurements to datasets combining precipitation data from multiple instruments. Our datasets and tools help users find and integrate the data they need to understand how quickly precipitation is falling across Earth and its effects.
