Any #nasa #gpm #imerg users around? I'm trying to figure out what is the time period for the daily #precipitation dataset. It says it's from 00:00 to 23:59 hrs but at what time zone?

Is that UTC? So for São Paulo (UTC-3) does that means that the daily precipitation is calculated using data from 21:00 (previous day) to 20:59?

Asking because I'm trying to compare it with rain gauge data (hourly and daily)
