Global, Multi-Satellite Precipitation Analysis at Fine Time Scales using TRMM Plus other SatellitesA TRMM-based 3-hr analyses that uses TRMM observations to calibrate polar-orbit microwave observations from SSM/I (and other satellites, including AMSR on AQUA and ADEOS II) and geosynchronous IR observations is described. The various calibrated observations are combined into a final, 3-hr resolution map. This TRMM standard product will be available for the entire TRMM period (January 1998-present) in 2003 as product 3B-42 of the TRMM Version 6. A real-time version of this merged product is being produced and is available on the U.S. TRMM web site (trmm.gsfc.nasa.gov) at 0.25 degrees latitude-longitude resolution over the latitude range from 50 degrees N-50 degrees S. Examples will be shown, including its use in monitoring flood conditions and in relating weather-scale patterns to climate-scale patterns. Incorporation of this approach into the Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP) will also be discussed.
