This is a notice to instruct QMORPH data users that data distribution locations, latency, and data format will transition and old formats/locations terminated. Here are some important dates. Currently: Data flowing into the new locations (.i.e. /precip/CMORPH_V0.x_RT/RAW) 11 November 2015: Data flow into the old locations (.i.e. /precip/qmorph) cease. DATA LOCATION CHANGES OLD = /precip/qmorph/30min_8km NEW = /precip/CMORPH_V0.x_RT/RAW/8km-30min/YYYY/YYYYMM OLD = /precip/qmorph/30min_025deg NEW = /precip/CMORPH_V0.x_RT/RAW/0.25deg-30min/YYYY/YYYYMM DATA LATENCY CHANGES OLD = 3 hours from near real time, updated at the beginning of the hour NEW = 2 hours from near real time, updated at both at the beginning and middle of the hour DATA FORMAT CHANGES For both data sets: 1. Data will now be oriented from south to north, not north to south (as in the /precip/qmorph version) For the 8km 30 minute data set: 1. Data will now be in real*4 little endian binary, not char*1 and no longer scaled (previously by 0.2) 2. Data will no longer contain timestamp and satellite ID, just the QMORPH in mm/hr (not scaled) For the 0.25deg data set: 1. Data will be in real*4 little endian binary, not big endian binary (as in the /precip/global_CMORPH version)
