Estimation and analysis of interannual variations in tropical oceanic rainfall using data from SSM/IRainfall over tropical ocean regions, particularly in the tropical Pacific, is estimated using Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) data. Instantaneous rainfall estimates are derived from brightness temperature values obtained from the satellite data using the Hughes D-Matrix algorithm. Comparisons with other satellite techniques are made to validate the SSM/I results for the tropical Pacific. The correlation coefficients are relatively high for the three data sets investigated, especially for the annual case.
