    The tropical rainfall measuring mission (TRMM) and its role in studies of climate variations (1991)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-14
    Description: Adequate measurement of rainfall over the global tropics can only be made from space, using an inclined low orbit and a combination of sensors. A relatively low-budget earth probe satellite called the tropical rainfall measuring mission (TRMM) is described. It is an approved joint project between the United States and Japan, with an intended launch by the Japanese in 1996. It will fly at an orbit elevation of 350 km and an inclination of 35 deg. Radiation instruments were added to the payload in late 1990. The TRMM rain package, its instruments, expected products, and some results of prelaunch research on the orbit sampling, rain retrievals, and ground validation procedures are discussed.

    The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) (1994)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-28
    Description: The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) is a cooperative effort between National Space Development Agency (NASDA) of Japan and NASA of the USA. TRMM is designed to measure rain rates from space using a combination of high resolution radar, passive microwave radiometer and visible-infrared radiometer measurements from a spacecraft in a rapid precession, 350 km orbit inclined at 35 deg. These measurements, averaged over a 500 km grid for a month, are expected to provide monthly mean rainfall to an accuracy of 10 to 15 percent. TRMM will also make it possible to analyze the diurnal component of the rainfall and to derive the vertical distribution of latent heating. An accurate measure of the oceanic rainfall distribution will provide unprecedented insight into the halocline distribution and the stability of the oceanic surface layers. A status of the program is presented.

    Some thoughts on future rain mapping missions (TRMM follow-on) (1993)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-28
    Description: The release of latent heat of condensation is the largest internal energy source of the atmosphere. Latent heating is most significant during the precipitation process. Our knowledge of the distribution of precipitation is poor. It is only well observed within limited areas of the globe. Over the oceans, for example, it is known only to within a factor of two. Thus, there are strong scientific requirements for observations of precipitation from instruments on board a satellite. The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) will be the first satellite to measure rainfall with adequate accuracy and provide information about the vertical distribution of precipitation, not only in tropics and subtropics, but to plus or minus 35 degrees of latitude. There is a need for the continuity of rain observations for climate modeling purposes and to expand observations to cover more of the globe than simply plus or minus 35 degrees latitude.

    Enhanced Damage-Resistant Optics for Spaceflight Laser Systems: Workshop findings and recommendations (1991)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-28
    Description: NASA has defined a program to address critical laser-induced damage issues peculiar to its remote sensing systems. The Langley Research Center (LaRC), with input from the Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), has developed a program plan focusing on the certification of optical materials for spaceflight applications and the development of techniques to determine the reliability of such materials under extended laser exposures. This plan involves cooperative efforts between NASA and optics manufacturers to quantify the performance of optical materials for NASA systems and to ensure NASA's continued application of the highest quality optics possible for enhanced system reliability. A review panel was organized to assess NASA's optical damage concerns and to evaluate the effectiveness of the LaRC proposed program plan. This panel consisted of experts in the areas of laser-induced damage, optical coating manufacture, and the design and development of laser systems for space. The panel was presented information on NASA's current and planned laser remote sensing programs, laser-induced damage problems already encountered in NASA systems, and the proposed program plan to address these issues. Additionally, technical presentations were made on the state of the art in damage mechanisms, optical materials testing, and issues of coating manufacture germane to laser damage.

    NASA's program in lidar remote sensing (1991)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-27
    Description: Several major NASA research efforts in lidar remote sensing are reviewed, with attention given to hardware and key sensor issues along with results and expectations. The discussion covers temperature and pressure measurements, measurements methods and instrumentation, pressure data, wind field measurements, atmospheric backscatter measurement, aerosol and cloud measurements, and water vapor measurement. Consideration is also given to the applicability of lidar measurements to problems of operational weather analysis and forecasting, climate studies, mesoscale and severe storm analysis and forecastig, and studies of atmosphere/surface interface.
