Instantaneous Precipitation and Latent Heating Estimation over Land
databases of precipitation and associated brightness temperatures. Such databases
can be successfully used to derive unified overland satellite radiometer precipitation algorithms. Such advancements will be crucial in the achievement of GPM’s
objectives to improve satellite precipitation estimation using multiple instruments on
TRMM and other satellites for the preparation of developing knowledge and techniques suitable for transfer to the next-generation constellation-based GPM mission.
