Abstract

The method of satellite infrared and passive microwave remote sensing for precipitation were briefly introduced firstly. The instruments onboard the tropical rainfall measurement mission (TRMM) satellite and the application of their measurements were discussed . As for example, precipitation structure, relationship among altitude of cloud top and rain top with surface rain rate for a summer hot convective precipitation system were brought forth together with analyzing of long time dataset of the TRMM precipitation radar on precipitation climatology in Asia.At last, the prospect of the satellite active and passive remote sensing of precipitation in the near future were given.
