Abstract

The proposal aims to complete the GPM-API software, enhancing access to Global Precipitation Measurement Mission (GPM) satellite data. The GPM archive comprises diverse product levels, from raw measurements to long-term precipitation records. GPM-API simplifies file searching and downloading, streamlining data processing for greater computational efficiency. By openly sharing the GPM-API, the project aims to accelerate scientist productivity by eliminating the time-consuming data wrangling process, broaden the GPM user community, and facilitate educational use of the GPM archive. This initiative enhances the findability and accessibility of GPM satellite measurements, offering a more efficient and user-friendly tool for scientists and educators alike.
