Abstract: Monthly rainfall estimates inferred from the NASA Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite contain errors due to discrete temporal sampling and remote spaceborne rain retrievals. This paper develops a regional-scale ...

Abstract: This paper reports the results from a regional validation study of monthly precipitation products generated from sensor measurements aboard the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite. The study analyzed 4 yr ...

Abstract: assive and active microwave rain sensors on board Earth-orbiting satellites estimate monthly rainfall from the instantaneous rain statistics collected during satellite overpasses. It is well known that climate-scale rain ...

Abstract: Spaceborne microwave sensors provide critical rain information used in several global multisatellite rain products, which in turn are used for a variety of important studies, including landslide forecasting, flash flood ...

Abstract: This study provides a comprehensive intercomparison of instantaneous rain rates observed by the two rain sensors aboard the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite with ground data from two regional sites ...

Abstract: This paper describes the cubic spline?based operational system for the generation of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) 1-min rain-rate product 2A-56 from tipping-bucket (TB) gauge measurements. A simulated TB ...

Abstract: Evaluation of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite observations is conducted through a comprehensive ground validation (GV) program. Since the launch of TRMM in late 1997, standardized instantaneous and ...
