Abstract (AI)
This note is intended to serve primarily as a reference guide to users wishing to make use of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission data. It covers each of the three primary rainfall instruments: the passive microwave radiometer, the precipitation radar, and the Visible and Infrared Radiometer System on board the spacecraft. Radiometric characteristics, scanning geometry, calibration procedures, and data products are described for each of these three sensors.
Key Findings
1
For each sensor, it documents radiometric characteristics, scanning geometry, calibration procedures, and available data products.
2
It describes the three primary TRMM rainfall instruments: a passive microwave radiometer, precipitation radar, and Visible and Infrared Radiometer System.
3
The guide supports interpretation and utilization of TRMM observations by consolidating essential sensor and data-product information.
4
The note provides a reference guide for users working with Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission data.
