Quicklooks at TRMM Orbits
"Quicklook" images are made from TRMM Microwave Imager (TMI) data. Microwave brightness temperatures at 85.5 GHZ and at 37.0 GHZ are combined in the red, green and blue components (guns) of the images. This provides us with an overview of the material covering parts of the Earth over time.
Learn more about the TMI instrument.
