The TRMM-based, near-real time Multi-satellite Precipitation Analysis (MPA) at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center monitors rainfall over the global tropics. MPA rainfall totals are shown for northwestern South America for the period 1-8 January, 2004. It shows rainfall totals in excess of 10 inches (darker read areas) along the eastern side of the central and northern Andes in Peru. Widespread rain on the order of 3 to 6 inches (green and yellow areas) extends over the vast Amazon River Basin in Brazil towards the east.
TRMM is a joint mission between NASA and the Japanese space agency NASDA.
