6hrly global ccs data is in row centric format. name scheme: rgccs6h0934900.bin.gz w/ YYDDDHH date/time The HH represents the beginning of the 6hrly time period like so: 00:00 to 05:59 Format is: binary in row centric format. short integer data are big-endian. units mm/6hr *100 accumulation NODATA value is -9999 coverage is: 60N to 60S and 0 to 360 Longitude 3000 rows x 9000 cols first value is NW most pixel centered at .02 lon and 59.98 N lat. next value is N most lat + .06 lon then .10 lon and so on. last value is SE corner NOTES: there are "realtime" data up near the current time. the realtime data begin to be reprocessed using more consistent input data after 2 days delay. The reprocessing can require up to 24 hours. ---------- 05/06/2016 Center for Hydrometeorology and Remote Sensing (CHRS) Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering University of California, Irvine
