TRMM The TRMM Precipitation Feature Database Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission •The value of the TRMM dataset for climate research increases with every year of additional data •With 14+ yrs of data, analyses of regional seasonal variability are now becoming possible Seasonal variability of precipitation features in the S.E. United States Feature size Month Feature 30-dBZ echo height Feature echo top Feature min. 85-GHz PCT Seasonal variation of radar (PR) precipitation feature (RPF) characteristics in the Southeastern U. S. including (a) precipitation feature size, (b) echo top, (c) 30‐dBZ echo height, and (d) minimum 85‐GHz polarization corrected temperature (PCT). Courtesy of Chuntao Liu and Ed Zipser.
