Abstract The Precipitation Radar (PR) onboard the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite is the first spaceborne radar designed to measure the vertical structure of tropospheric precipitation. The PR, operating at 13.8 GHz, is a 128-element active phased array that allows fast and sophisticated cross-track scanning over a swath width of

TRMM precipitation radar algorithm
Proceedings of IGARSS '93 - IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2002The TRMM precipitation radar (PR) algorithms have been studied by the TRMM PR team. The radar products are classified and are shown according to the processing levels. The general processing structure suggests a primary division of radar algorithms into either deterministic or statistical techniques.

An overview of CERES with TRMM and Terra
IGARSS 2000. IEEE 2000 International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium. Taking the Pulse of the Planet: The Role of Remote Sensing in Managing the Environment. Proceedings (Cat. No.00CH37120), 2002Data for the investigation of Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) began with the launch of the CERES instrument on the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) and continues with two CERES instrument on the EOS Terra satellite. The new instruments will sample regions poleward of the surface viewable from TRMM, and will thus place ...

Comparison of Pixel Based TRMM with Interpolation of TRMM Relative to Rain Gauge Data
2019Estimation of rainfall distribution has become a concern of many researchers to study about the best method to predict rainfall as input data to many other relative studies like one-dimensional hydrological modelling. Inaccurate prediction of rainfall may cause horrendous flood or severe drought to livelihoods in some regions.

Proceedings of IGARSS '93 - IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2002
This paper briefly describes the initiation and development of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) comparisons of the TRMM and TRMM Follow-On (TRMM F-O) features, and status of actions concerning the TRMM F-O. The TRMM follow on mission radar satellite is expected to be launched in 1997. >

Post-launch calibration of the TRMM microwave imager
IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2001Three post-launch calibration methods are used to examine the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Microwave Imager (TMI) on-orbit performance. The first method is a statistical analysis of TMI ocean observations that reveals a systematic along-scan error.

Deep convection observed from split window of GOES and PR/TRMM, LIS/TRMM
IGARSS 2003. 2003 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium. Proceedings (IEEE Cat. No.03CH37477), 2004Deep convection over South America is investigated in terms of cloud type classified by the split window (11 and 12 /spl mu/m) using the hourly data of GOES, and rainfall by the PR (Precipitation Radar), and lightning activity by the LIS (Lightning Imaging Sensor) on board TRMM (Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission) as case studies.

Selected analyses of TRMM instantaneous rainfall data
IEEE International IEEE International IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2004. IGARSS '04. Proceedings. 2004, 2004Distributions of Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Version 5 (V5) and Version 6 (V6) data are presented. The fraction of pixels determined by the Precipitation Radar (PR) to be convective has increased by 5% from V5 to V6. In V6, PR contributes more rain in medium ( 4 to 20 mm/hr) but less in heavy ( >20 mm/hr) rainfall rates than the TRMM ...

TRMM Active/Passive Ocean Vector Wind Retrievals
IGARSS 2019 - 2019 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2019This paper presents a novel ocean vector wind (OVW) retrieval algorithm that uses the Precipitation Radar (PR) and the TRMM Microwave Imager (TMI) on board of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite. In this paper, the modified 2nd Stokes parameter (weighted difference of V & H-pol Tb’s) is used to cancel the atmosphere, which enhances

TRMM rainfall algorithm development
Proceedings of IGARSS '93 - IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2002This paper categorizes the algorithms which are being developed for the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM). The discussion includes algorithms which utilize the active and passive microwave sensors as well as the combination of all rain sensors on TRMM and beyond to an algorithm which considers the TRMM satellite in conjunction with other ...
