NASA MEASURES Precipitation Ensemble based on TMI TRMM NASA PPS L1C V05 Tbs 1-orbit L2 Swath 5x5km V1 (PRECIP_TMI_TRMM) at GES DISC

Description

The data presented in this level 2 orbital product are rain rate estimates expressed as mm/hour determined from brightness temperatures (Tbs) obtained from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Microwave Imager (TMI) flown on the TRMM satellite. Most of the products generated in this data set are based upon the algorithms developed for the 3rd Algorithm Intercomparison Project (AIP-3) of the Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP). Details of these 15 algorithms and development of a quality score which is a measure of confidence in the estimate, along with processing and algorithmic flags, can be found in the Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document (ATBD). The data in this product cover the period from 1997 to 2015 with one file per orbit.
