Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM)

Overview of Enhanced Mission
TRMM enhanced mission is very modest addition to basic mission continuation
involving additional product generation and implementation of four products
• Precipitation Feature (PF) database--involves adaptation as standard
product of highly-used team member algorithm/product for wider
distribution--allows for identification of characteristics of precipitation
features (areas, etc.) rather than pixel information
• Wide-swath primary precipitation product--improved multi-instrument
product covering full swath and providing a TRMM-best instantaneous
surface rain estimate
• A-Train Subset of TRMM data--subsets of TRMM data matched with
cross-overs with A-Train within various time offsets
• Tropical cyclone accumulation rain maps using TRMM multi-satellite
product and cyclone track information
