Accurate estimation of high-resolution precipitation on the global scaleis extremely chanllenging.The operational Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission(TRMM) Multi-satellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA) has been producing highresolution quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) for nearly 15 years,andhas built the foundation for improved analsysis based on the upcoming GlobalPrecipitation Mission (GPM).TMPA system is intended to produce the "besteffort"estimates of quasi-global precipitation from almost all available satelliteborneprecipitation-related sensors by consistently calibrating them to thebenckmark TRMM-based high-quality sensor products.Recently,the TMPAsystem has been upgraded to Version-7 to take advantage of newer and bettersources of satellite inputs than its previous Version-6,and has attracted a largeuser base.One of the major TMPA data offerings is the near real-time product(TMPA-RT),as its timeliness is particularly appealing for time-senstiveapplications such as flood and landslide monitoring.
