Useres can view and download various precipitation and applications datasets from the past 60 days, including 30-minute, 1-day, 3-day, and 7-day precipitation data, floods nowcasts, and landslides nowcasts. Datasets are available in various popular formats—TIF, SHP, arcJSON, geoJSON, and topoJSON. Users can also learn how to directly access the data via the PMM Publisher API.

The Precipitation and Applications Viewer is part of NASA's Precipitation Measurement Missions, whose remotely sensed precipitation data enable a diverse range of applications across agencies, research institutions, and the global community. These applications include monitoring of floods, landslides, and extreme weather for disaster risk reduction.
