Version 07 is the current version of the data set. Older versions are no longer available and have been superseded by the current version. Consistent rainfall retrievals from each instrument mandate the basic sensor radiance measurements (brightness temperature, Tb) to be consistently inter-calibrated. Fundamental to this concept is the existence of the GPM Microwave Imager (GMI), a conically scanning multifrequency radiometer in non-sun-synchronous orbit, which serves as a radiometric transfer standard for the other passive microwave sensors on cooperative (polar orbiting) constellation satellites. This GPM inter-satellite calibration process is known as XCAL. GMIBASEXCAL is the standard GMI calibration product with reduced precision of all physical fields. It consists of one full orbit with no overlaps to other orbits in the production although up to 200 overlap scans may be used for multi-scan calibration in the process. This GPM GMI product contains "GMI Antenna Temperatures", and is written as a multi-Swath Structure. Swath S1 has channels 1-9: 10V 10H 19V 19H 23V 37V 37H 89V 89H. Swath S2 has channels 10-13: 166V 166H 183+/-3V 183+/-8V. S3 S4 are full rotation versions of S1 S2.

Version 07 is the current version of the data set. Older versions will no longer be available and have been superseded by Version 07.All 1C products have a common L1C data structure, simple and generic. Each L1C swath includes scan time, latitude and longitude, scan status, quality, incidence angle, Sun glint angle, and the intercalibrated brightness temperature (Tc). One or more swaths are included in a product. The radiometer data are recalibrated to a common basis so that precipitation products derived from them are consistent. 1CGMI contains common calibrated brightness temperatures from the GMI passive microwave instrument flown on the GPM satellite. 1C-R GMI is a remapped version of 1CGMI which is explained at the end of this section. Swath S1 has 9 channels which are similar to TRMM TMI (10V 10H 19V 19H 23V 37V 37H 89V 89H). Swath S2 has 4 channels similar to AMSU-B (166V 166H 183+/-3V 183+/-8V). Data for both swaths is observed in the same revolution of the instrument.

Version 07 is the current version of the data set. Older versions will no longer be available and have been superseded by Version 07. The 1BGMI algorithm uses a non-linear three-point in-flight calibration to derive antenna temperature (Ta) and convert Ta to Tb using GMI antenna pattern corrections. The four-point calibration, which utilizes noise diode measurements, is used to monitor the sensor non-linearty. The noise diode measurements also provide a hot load back-up calibration in case hot load measurements are lost. Details are in the GMI ATBD. The 1BGMI algorithm and software transform Level 0 counts into geolocated and calibrated brightness temperatures (Tb) for 13 GMI channels.
