Features:
TRMM Orbit Viewer helps identify "monster" hurricanes!
Building upon the pioneering work of Joanne Simpson, Jeffrey Halverson and
other severe storm experts, Owen Kelley and John Stout of Goddard Space Flight
Center and George Mason University are using the TRMM Orbit Viewer to target
potential "monster" storms as they develop. According to Kelley, "The
motivation for this new research is that it is not enough to predict the birth
of a tropical cyclone. We also want to improve our ability to predict the
intensity of the storm and the damage it would cause if it struck the coast."

meeting in Seattle, January 12, 2004)

More Applications of TRMM Scientific Data
These examples are from TRMM related research and applications
reported in both professional journals and distributed web sites. Rather than
providing detailed descriptions, we integrate them into a brief overall site
here. Each example or topic is a subpage covering those two aspects. The
references and relevant links are also listed under each topic.
The Hydrology Data Support Team at the Goddard DAAC provides this site with
a two-fold purpose. First, to exhibit examples of TRMM data usage in
scientific research. These examples provide users a means of quickly and easily
grasping the concepts of the scientific information in the TRMM data. Secondly,
the contents of the sample TRMM data are described and visually depicted. This
is intended to familiarize users with TRMM data contents. For general TRMM
background and our TRMM data service please see: GES DISC Precipitation Page .
