Retrieval of Rain Rate from Microwave Radiometer March 14, 2004 —
To estimate rainfall over tropical land and oceans, a multichannel passive microwave radiometer (TMI) and a precipitation radar were flown onboard the TRMM satellite. The radar areal coverage is limited to a swath width of 220 km while the TMI covers a mu . . . [continued]
