TRMM PR Standard Algorithm 2A23 and its Performance on Bright Band Detection (2009, background): “Since the BB peak appears near the height of 0°C air temperature, the detected height of the BB peak is approximately 0°C height, which is important information for many areas of interest because the 0°C height is a boundary between solid particles and liquid particles, the latter of which appreciab”
Spectral Retrieval of Latent Heating Profiles from TRMM PR Data. Part IV: Comparisons of Lookup Tables from Two- and Three-Dimensional Cloud-Resolving Model Simulations (2009, positive): “…of active remote sensing of precipitation from space began with the launch of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM; Simpson et al. 1988, 1996; Kummerow et al. 2000), which carries the ﬁrst spaceborne radar [precipitation radar (PR); Kozu et al. 2001; Okamoto 2003; Okamoto and Shige 2008].”
THE GLOBAL PRECIPITATION MEASUREMENT (GPM) MISSION FOR SCIENCE AND SOCIETY. (2017, neutral): “The TRMM spacecraft had both a passive microwave multifrequency imaging radiometer (provided by NASA) and a Ku-band radar channel (provided by NASDA) capable of generating three-dimensional views of precipitation structure (Kozu et al. 2001).”
