The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) update and its role in EOS and GEWEXUpdated information is presented on the U.S./Japan Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), which is a relatively low-budget earth-probe satellite with a secondary objective of measuring upwelling radiation from the clouds and the surfaces below the satellite. Particular attention is given to the TRMM rain measurements and the characteristics of the three TRMM rain measuring instruments: the microwave radiometer, the radar, and the visible/IR radiometer. Also discussed are the TRMM contributions to EOS and GEWEX.
