Monthly 0.25° x 0.25° TRMM and Other Sources Rainfall (3B43_V6)

DAAC-TRMM-3B43-V6

The global rainfall algorithm (3B-43) combines the estimates generated by combined instrument rain calibration (3B-42) and global gridded rain gauge data from CAMS, produced by NOAA's Climate Prediction Center and/or global rain gauge product, produced by the Global Precipitation Climatology Center (GPCC). The output is rainfall for 0.25x0.25 degree grid boxes for each month. For more details of the algorithm, go to http://trmm.gsfc.nasa.gov/3b43.html
