TRMM was a research satellite designed to improve our understanding of the distribution and variability of precipitation within Earth’s tropical and subtropical regions. TRMM used several space-borne instruments to increase our understanding of the interactions between water vapor, clouds, and precipitation, central to regulating Earth’s climate.
