Tropical oceanic rainfall - Estimation from SMMR and SSM/IA method of inferring rainfall over oceans with Nimbus-7 SMMR data (Prabhakara et al., 1986) is improved by including data from the DMSP Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I). The microwave observations at low frequencies are compared with the SSM/I measurements at 85 GHz. The process used to analyze the microwave data and the retrieval method are described. A map of the monthly mean rainfall rate for July 1987 over the North and South Pacific Oceans is obtained using the SSM/I data.
