针对降水遥感和探测，简要介绍了卫星红外遥感方法和被动微波遥感方法，着重讨论了热带测雨卫星及其搭载仪器。随后介绍了热带测雨卫星多仪器探测结果的应用，并以夏季热对流降水为例，分析了其降水结构、云顶高度和雨顶高度及其与地表降水之间的关系，同时也阐述了如何利用热带测雨卫星和测雨雷达长时间资料，来分析亚洲地区降水的气候分布。最后对卫星主动微波探测降水的发展做了简要展望。

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.
