tams.data.get_mergir(time_or_range, *, version='1', parallel=False, **kwargs)#

Stream GPM MERGIR brightness temperature from NASA Earthdata.

https://disc.gsfc.nasa.gov/datasets/GPM_MERGIR_1/summary

This is half-hourly ~ 4-km resolution data in the 60°S–60°N latitude band. Each netCDF file contains one hour (two half-hourly time steps).

Note

The Python packages earthaccess and h5netcdf are required. Additionally, you must have a NASA Earthdata account (see https://earthaccess.readthedocs.io/en/stable/howto/authenticate/ for more info).

Parameters:

  • time_or_range (Any | tuple[Any, Any]) – Specific time or time range (inclusive) to request.

  • version (str) – Currently ‘1’ is the only option.

  • parallel (bool) – Passed to xarray.open_mfdataset(), telling it to open files in parallel using Dask. This may speed up loading if you are requesting more than a few hours, especially if you are using dask.distributed.

  • **kwargs – Passed to earthaccess.login().

Return type:

xarray.Dataset
