TL;DR: The TRMM Multi-Satellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA) as discussed by the authors provides a calibration-based sequential scheme for combining precipitation estimates from multiple satellites, as well as gauge analyses where feasible, at fine scales.

TL;DR: The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) was launched on 27 November 1997, and data from all the instruments first became available approximately 30 days after the launch as mentioned in this paper, and much progress has been made in the calibration of the sensors, the improvement of the rainfall algorithms, and applications of these results to areas such as data assimilation and model initialization.

TL;DR: The GPM mission collects essential rain and snow data for scientific studies and societal benefit and aims to provide real-time information about rainfall and snowfall to improve understanding of climate change.

TL;DR: The Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission (IMERG) is a US GPM Science Team precipitation product as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, a long-term project is described to provide routine combined-sensor estimates of precipitation over the entire globe at relatively fine time and space intervals, and the goal is to produce these globally complete precipitation estimates on a 25-km grid every 3 hours.
