I have downloaded the MSWEP sub-daily rainfall data (3-hourly data 0.1 degree resolution). I used MATLAB to convert it and obtained a table of dimensions 1800 x 3600 for a specific date. I am unable to understand how to interpret the resulting table. I am assuming the rows and columns represent latitude and longitude intervals. But I am not entirely sure of what the range is. I am a litle confused about how to interpret this. Any tips regarding this will be helpful!
Generally, for a specific date, products from remote precipitation sensing will result in a matrix, which is consistent with the described. To ensure that it is this result that you are seeking, it is interesting to use a visualization tool for this data, the use of ncview or Panoply can help in this regard. If you use linux you can install and use ncdump, the understanding of the data is broader.
Hope this helps.
Luiz Felipe Sant Anna Commar Thank you very much for your response! I will try it out.

Method Using R to read NetCDF Files
Linking this paper I found. Very useful to understand and interpret contents of netCDF files. I followed this paper to clear my doubts (mentioned in the question I posted) regarding the interpretation of the MSWEP sub-daily rainfall data.
