Abstract: Seasonal and spatial variation of the vertical gradient of rainfall rate was investigated using global precipitation data observed by the Precipitation Radar (PR) on the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite. ...

Abstract: The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Radar (PR) has made it possible for the first time to evaluate global characteristics of vertical structures of rainfall over monsoon Asia. This study is intended ...

Abstract: The adequacy of hourly rainfall sampling was examined in terms of the detection of diurnal variations using 8 yr (1998?2005) of data observed by the precipitation radar on the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) ...

Abstract: AbstractIn this study, the spatial variability in precipitation at a 0.1° scale is investigated using long-term data from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Precipitation Radar. Marked regional heterogeneities emerged ...

Abstract: bservations of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Precipitation Radar (TRMM PR) over 16 yr yielded hundreds of large precipitation systems (≥100 km) for each 0.1° grid over major rainy regions. More than 90% of the ...

Abstract: he incidence-angle differences of estimated surface rainfall obtained from the precipitation radar (PR) on board the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite were investigated. The bias before the orbit boost ...
