The Global Precipitation Measurement Mission
Arthur Y. Hou,Ramesh K. Kakar,Steven P. Neeck,Ardeshir A. Azarbarzin,Christian D. Kummerow,Masahiro Kojima,Riko Oki,Kenji Nakamura,Toshio Iguchi +8 more
TL;DR: The Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission is an international satellite mission specifically designed to set a new standard for the measurement of precipitation from space and to provide a new generation of global rainfall and snowfall observations in all parts of the world every 3 h as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rain profiling algorithm for the TRMM precipitation radar
TL;DR: In this paper, an algorithm that estimates the instantaneous profiles of the true radar reflectivity factor and rainfall rate from the radar reflectivities profiles observed by the precipitation radar (PR) onboard the TRMM satellite is presented.

Kummerow,Robert Meneghini,Riko Oki,William S. Olson,Yukari N. Takayabu,Kinji Furukawa,Thomas T. Wilheit +17 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Kalman Filter Approach to the Global Satellite Mapping of Precipitation (GSMaP) from Combined Passive Microwave and Infrared Radiometric Data
Tomoo Ushio,Kazushi Sasashige,Takuji Kubota,Shoichi Shige,Ken-ichi Okamoto,Kazumasa Aonashi,Toshiro Inoue,Nobuhiro Takahashi,Toshio Iguchi,Misako Kachi,Riko Oki,Takeshi Morimoto,Zen-Ichiro Kawasaki +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, a system has been developed and implemented that integrates passive microwave radiometer data with IR data in order to have high temporal (1 hour) and spatial (0.1 degree) resolution global precipitation estimates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Uncertainties in the Rain Profiling Algorithm for the TRMM Precipitation Radar
TL;DR: In this article, the basic structure and flow of the rain profiling algorithm for the TRMM Precipitation Radar is described, and the major assumptions and sources of error in the algorithm are discussed.
