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 South China Sea Monsoon Experiment (SCSMEX) is an international field experiment with the objective to better understand the key physical processes for the onset and evolution of the summer monsoon over Southeast Asia and southern China aiming at improving monsoon predictions.

TL;DR: The South China Sea Monsoon Experiment (SCSMEX) is an international field experiment with the objective to better understand the key physical processes for the onset and evolution of the Asian summer monsoon in relation to fluctuation of the regional hydrologic cycle over Southeast Asian, southern East Asia, aiming at improving monsoon prediction as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used two shipboard Doppler radars as part of the Tropical Oceans Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment during the intensive observing period (November 1992-February 1993).

TL;DR: The ground validation of ground-based radar data from the TRMM GV program has been discussed in this article, where the authors provide an overview of the ground validation process and a summary of recently reprocessed official GV rainfall products.
