Tropical Rainfall Distributions Determined Using TRMM Combined with Other Satellite and Rain Gauge Information
TL;DR: A technique is described to use Tropical Rain Measuring Mission (TRMM) combined radar/radiometer information to adjust geosynchronous infrared satellite data (the TRMM adjusted GOES Precipitation Index, or TRMM AGPI) to provide fine scale (1 deg latitude/longitude) pentad and monthly analyses as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the mean fields derived from the dense gauge network, the GPCC gauge-only analysis, and the Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP) blended data, the infrared-based Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite precipitation index (GPI), and the Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) microwave estimates are compared.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface Turbulent Heat and Momentum Fluxes over Global Oceans Based on the Goddard Satellite Retrievals, Version 2 (GSSTF2)
TL;DR: A 13.5-yr (July 1987-December 2000) dataset of daily surface turbulent fluxes over global oceans has been derived from the Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) radiance measurements as mentioned in this paper.
