TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a reference guide to users wishing to make use of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission data, which covers each of the three primary rainfall instruments: the passive microwave radiometer, the precipitation radar, and the Visible and Infrared Radiometer System on board the spacecraft.

TL;DR: The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) was launched on 27 November 1997, and data from all the instruments first became available approximately 30 days after the launch as mentioned in this paper, and much progress has been made in the calibration of the sensors, the improvement of the rainfall algorithms, and applications of these results to areas such as data assimilation and model initialization.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a tropical rainfall measurement mission (TRMM) for a three-year operational period, with the satellite's orbit being low-altitude (320 km) and low-inclination (30 to 35 deg).

TL;DR: The GCE model has been extensively applied to study cloud-environment interactions, cloud interaction and merg- ers, air-sea interaction, cloud draft structure and trace gas transport.

TL;DR: In this article, a reasonably accurate and noniterative saturation adjustment scheme is proposed to calculate: (1) the amount of condensation and/or deposition necessary to remove any supersaturated vapor.
