| الوصف: | Evaluation of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite observations is conducted through a comprehensive ground validation (GV) program. Since the launch of TRMM in late 1997, standardized instantaneous and monthly rainfall products are routinely generated using quality-controlled ground-based radar data adjusted to the gauge accumulations from four primary sites. As part of the NASA TRMM GV program, effort is being made to evaluate these GV products. This paper describes the product evaluation effort for the Melbourne, Florida, site. This effort allows us to evaluate the radar rainfall estimates, to improve the algorithms in order to develop better GV products for comparison with the satellite products, and to recognize the major limiting factors in evaluating the estimates that reflect current limitations in radar rainfall estimation. Lessons learned and suggested improvements from this 8-yr mission are summarized in the context of improving planning for future precipitation missions, for example, the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM). |
