TMPA  

Definition

  • The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Multisatellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA) provides a calibration-based sequential scheme for combining precipitation estimates from multiple satellites, as well as gauge analyses where feasible, at fine scales (0.25 x 0.25 deg and 3 hourly). TMPA is available both after and in real time, based on calibration by the TRMM Combined Instrument and TRMM Microwave Imager precipitation products, respectively… Most of the coverage in the TMPA depends on input from two different sets of sensors. First, precipitation-related passive microwave data are collected by a variety of low earth orbit (LEO) satellites, including the Microwave Imager (TMI) on TRMM, Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) on Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) satellites, Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer-Earth Observing System (AMSR-E) on Aqua, and the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-B (AMSU-B) on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) satellite series… The second major data source for the TMPA is the window-channel infrared data that are being collected by the international constellation of geosynchronous earth orbit (GEO) satellites.
