Daily images of rainfall and sea surface temperature observed by TRMM, and satellite orbit information can be found at "Monitoring" page. Information of events such as heavy rainfall and El Nino is archived at "Topics" page.
We have up-dated the retrieval algorithm of sea surface temperature from TMI since November 1999.
The new algorithm retrieves sea surface temperature, total precipitable water, cloud liquid water and sea surface wind speed at the same time.
The major changes from ver. 1.0 to ver.2.0 are the modification of the calibration method for SST retrieval and the change of output format.
