Operational product generation GAASP Precipitation products in NCCF:
The AMSR2 Precipitation product is going to be migrated to NCCF. This change will be transparent to the users in terms of PDA subscription. The version number of the AMSR2 precipitation products will be changed to v03r0 from v02r2.

List of Scientific Changes: 1.With the most recent update of the GCOM Precip retrieval, AMSR2 rainfall rate and type estimates are derived using a fully parametric scheme, which now applies consistently across all observed FOVs and under all weather conditions. This change effectively retries the semi-empirical approach for deriving rainfall estimates over land surfaces used in previous algorithm versions. Version 3 (V3) introduces the Bayesian method over all surface types, removes the need for desert/cloud/snow pre-screening, and updates the use of ancillary information.
2. A priori database is now updated to include a total of 14 surface types, addressing the variability and changes in the presence of vegetation, snow, coast, ocean, inland water, and ocean ice within the satellite Field Of View (FOV). Ancillary information on Total Precipitation Water content, 2-meter Temperature and Dew Point, as well as the state of the snow/ice surface cover, is now obtained from NOAA GFS and Autosnow products. The overhaul of the retrieval results in significantly improved accuracy, coverage, and quality of the output. While the output file format is kept the same, minor adjustments are made to reflect the updates of the surface type, quality flags, and orbit statistics. The changes do not increase latency or processing time. Please note: This upgrade will not be performed during Critical Weather Day (CWD). Also, the contents of this release are subject to change based on user readiness, customer feedback, and management approval. Additional ESPC notifications will provide further details and updates concerning this release.
