The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) is a joint mission between NASA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) designed to monitor and study tropical rainfall. The 34B2 product contains a gridded, TRMM-adjusted, merged infrared precipitation (mm/hr) and RMS precipitation-error estimate, with a 3-hour temporal …
This collection is no longer being updated. See IMERG monthly This dataset algorithmically merges microwave data from multiple satellites, including SSMI, SSMIS, MHS, AMSU-B and AMSR-E, each inter-calibrated to the TRMM Combined Instrument. Algorithm 3B43 is executed once per calendar month to produce the single, …
Keetch-Byram Drought Index (KBDI) is a continuous reference scale for estimating the dryness of the soil and duff layers. The index increases for each day without rain (the amount of increase depends on the daily high temperature) and decreases when it rains. This system is …
