TRMMPR V8 Level 2A Processed Convective Rain States 1998-2009

<p>This dataset contains&nbsp;Interactive Data Language (IDL) .sav files of Convective Rain States (CRS) from 1998-2009 which are created by k-means clustering on TRMMPR Version 8 Level 2A data. It also contains IDL scripts in the TRMM.zip file that were used to process the raw TRMMPR V8&nbsp;data into the available CRS data.&nbsp;Details on this clustering can be found in Elsaesser et al. (2010)&nbsp;<a href="https://doi.org/10.1175/2010JCLI3330.1">https://doi.org/10.1175/2010JCLI3330.1</a>.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Readme:</p> <p>- Each line in the seriesFiles txt files points to the directory where the raw downloaded data was originally held. The raw TRMMPR V8 Level 2A&nbsp;data was downloaded from NASA EOSDIS PPS GPM public data archive.</p> <p>- There are two different total number of entries between all the variables in the processed data. This is because some missing values were saved in some variables and not in others. These missing variables are denoted by -1&#39;s in the prcid variable (as well as other variables), and can be located and removed under that condition.</p>
