Abstract:

The 13.8 GHz Precipitation Radar (PR) aboard the US/Japan Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite is the first rain profiling radar ever launched into space. A TRMM follow-on mission, called the Global Precipitation Mission (GPM), is currently planned to extend and improve the TRMM acquired rainfall data set.
