Zusammenfassung:Mori et al examine the diurnal cycle of rainfall and its regional variation over Sumatera Island in Indonesian Maritime Continent using the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite precipitation radar (PR) and intensive rawinsonde sounding data. Result shows that the TRMM PR sensor can detect raindrops directly, regardless of ground and cloud conditions, and can distinguish between convective and stratiform types of rainfall.
