Cloud top pressure altitudes (every 3 hours) up to ~1.5 to 2 days before the current date are estimated using global TRMM/GPM rainfall, global 4 km IR brightness temperatures from geostationary satellites, GDAS temperature profiles, and GDAS tropopause temperatures and pressures.
The plots are available ~2 days after the current time.
The files are under "TRMM_GPM".
In general, the file name convention is as follows:
For example, the file name convention for the current date on June 9, 2020 is as follows:
