Comparison of Rainfall Products Derived from TRMM Microwave Imager and Precipitation Radar
Satellite remote sensing is an indispensable means of measuring and monitoring precipitation on a global scale. The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) is continuing to make significant progress in helping the global features of precipitation to be understood, particularly with the help of a pair of spaceborne microwave sensors, the TRMM Microwave Imager (TMI) and precipitation radar (PR...
متن کاملAn Examination of Version-5 Rainfall Estimates from the TRMM Microwave Imager, Precipitation Radar, and Rain Gauges on Global, Regional, and Storm Scales
An evaluation of the version-5 precipitation radar (PR; algorithm 2A25) and Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Microwave Imager (TMI; algorithm 2A12) rainfall products is performed across the Tropics in two ways: 1) by comparing long-term TRMM rainfall products with Global Precipitation Climatology Centre (GPCC) global rain gauge analyses and 2) by comparing the rainfall estimates from ...
متن کاملTrmm Precipitation Radar and Its Observation Results
あらまし 熱帯降雨観測衛星(TRMM:Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission)は,1997年 11月 28日に打 ち上げられて以来,現在に至るまで,約 10 年以上も順調に,熱帯・亜熱帯降雨の観測を継続している.TRMM は,世界で初めてのアクティブフェイズドアレー方式の降雨レーダ(PR)を搭載しており,台風などをはじめ とする様々な降雨システムの三次元構造の観測にその威力を発揮してきた.論文では,TRMM 衛星のミッショ ンの目的,搭載センサの概要,TRMM降雨レーダシステムの概念設計時の諸検討,TRMM降雨レーダシステ ムの概要,TRMM降雨レーダデータ解析処理アルゴリズムシステム,様々な観測成果(台風,潜熱加熱など), TRMMを継承する全球降水観測計画(GPM:Global Precipitation Measurement)主衛星搭載 2周波...
متن کاملTrmm Precipitation Radar Version 6 Algorithms
Following the first (1991-1993) and the second (1994-1996) TRMM PR teams, and the third international TRMM PR team (1997-2000), the fourth international TRMM PR team (2001-2003) started its job in 2001 based on the NRA-99-OES-03 in 1999 and NASDA-3rd RA-TRMM in 2000. In April 2004, the fourth international TRMM PR team completed the revisions of the standard algorithms to version 6. NASA and JA...
متن کاملPost-launch calibration of the TRMM microwave imager
Three 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. The second method is an intercomparison of TMI and SSM/I observations that shows a warm bias in TMI. The last method is an analysis of...
