Summary
Abstract:
This document provides basic information on 3B42, TRMM and Other Satellites Precipitation Product.The TRMM Multi-Satellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA; computed at fine intervals as 3B-42) intercalibrates (to 2B31) and combines 2A-12, SSMI, AMSR and AMSU precipitation estimates (referred to as HQ). IR estimates from geostationary IR observations are made by calibrating the IR brightness temperatures to the HQ estimates. The 3B-42 estimates consist of the HQ where available and IR otherwise, all scaled to match the monthly satellite/rain gauge analyses in 3B-43.The output is precipitation (units: mm/hr) for 0.25x0.25 degree grid boxes on the latitude band 50 ° N-S every 3 hours.
