      <Quality>The presence of changing topography (ex.: mountains) presents challenges to the ability of the algorithm to distinguish between precipitation echo and surface clutter. The Ka frequency undergoes larger extinction through precipitation, and the dual-frequency retrieval may be limited to lower-moderate rain rates. As the DPR will be the first dual-frequency weather radar flown in space, dual-frequency retrieval methods will need extensive testing and validation.
                            
  Major sources of error that have an impact on estimates of surface precipitation include clutter contamination of near-surface echoes, incorrect identification of precipitation type (convective/stratiform), and severe attenuation of the Ka-band data in heavy precipitation.</Quality>

      <Summary>
          <Abstract> Version 5 is the current version of the data set. Version 4 is no longer available and has been superseded by Version 5.
  
  2ADPR provides single- and dual-frequency-derived precipitation estimates from the Ku and Ka radars of the Dual-Frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR) on the core GPM spacecraft. The output consists of three main classes of precipitation products: those derived from the Ku-band frequency over a wide swath (245 km), those derived from the Ka-band frequency over a narrow swath (125 km), and those derived from the dual-frequency data over the narrow swath. The Ka-band results are further divided into the standard and high-sensitivity estimates. In the standard sensitivity mode, the fields of view within the inner swath are matched to those of the Ku-band. Data from these matched-beam Ku- and Ka-band fields of view are used to derive the dual-frequency precipitation products. The retrievals are performed at each radar range bin along the slant path of the radar instrument field of view (IFOV).</Abstract>
