Latitude range IMERG V06 #7

Open paolamazzoglio opened 5 years ago

paolamazzoglio commented 5 years ago

IMERG data are now characterized by a 90° N - 90° S spatial coverage. We can now consider every row of IMERG files. In https://github.com/ITHACA-org/gpm-accumul/blob/master/gpm_repo/gpm_wrapper.py we can remove the limitations present in rows 53-55.

DISCLAIMER: Full coverage is provided for the latitudes between 60° N - 60° S, while the remaining upper and lower latitudes extending to 90° are considered "partial coverage". Both the cumulated rainfall and the alerts could be affected by lower accuracy due to this partial absence of rainfall measurements in GPM IMERG data.
