Summary
Abstract: The TRMM Microwave Imager (TMI) is a nine-channel passive microwave radiometer which builds on the heritage of the Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) instrument. It is flown aboard the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) platforms.

The TRMM Precipitation Radar (PR), the first of its kind in space, is an electronically scanning radar, operating at 13.8 GHz that measures the 3-D ... View entire text
