  • TRMM_GPMFormat/PR L3 Precipitaion (1-Day,0.1deg) dataset is the new (GPM-formated) TRMM product. There is no equivalent in the old TRMM suite of products. The closest ancestor was TRMM 3A25 which was a monthly radar statistic. It is obtained from the Precipitation Radar (PR) sensor onboard Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Core Satellite and produced by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).The most innovative of the five TRMM instruments, the PR is the first quantitative rain radar instrument to be flown in space. The major objectives of the PR instrument are as follows:a. Provides a 3-dimensional rainfall structureb. Achieves quantitative measurements of the rain rates over both land and ocean When properly combined with TMI measurements, the Precipitation Radar (PR) data is instrumental in obtaining the height profile of the precipitation content, from which the profile of latent heat release from the Earth can be estimated. The rain rate is estimated from the radar reflectivity factor when the rain rate is small by applying conventional algorithms used for ground-based radar. For large rain rates, a rain attenuation correction is made using the total-path attenuation of land or sea surface echoes.This dataset calculates various daily statistics from the level 2 PR. Four types of statistics are calculated: Probabilities of occurrence (count values), Means and standard deviationsThe provided format is TEXT. The Sampling resolution is 0.1degree grid (Daily TEXT). The current version of the product is Version 6. The generation unit is global.
