TL;DR: Rain rates retrieved from the GSMaP_TMI are in better agreement with the PR estimates over land everywhere except over tropical Africa in the boreal summer.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Kalman Filter Approach to the Global Satellite Mapping of Precipitation (GSMaP) from Combined Passive Microwave and Infrared Radiometric Data

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a precipitation-retrieval algorithm for the tropical rain measurement mission (TRMM) Microwave Imager (TMI) that was developed under the Global Satellite Mapping of Precipitation project (GSMaP) by improving the authors' previous algorithm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spectral Retrieval of Latent Heating Profiles from TRMM PR Data. Part I: Development of a Model-Based Algorithm
TL;DR: In this article, the spectral latent heating (SLH) algorithm was used to estimate latent heating profiles for the tropical rain measuring mission precipitation radar with a cloud-resolving model (CRM).
