Abstract
By Global Satellite Mapping of Precipitation (GSMaP) Project, global surface rainfalls are retrieved from satelliteborne microwave radiometers. We have retrieved from the TRMM Microwave Imager for 1998-2004, from the AMSR-E for 2003-2004, and from the AMSR for April-October 2003 and from the SSM/I for 2003-2004. We combined these rainfall retrievals derived from microwave radiometers (GSMaP MWR). For the validation, the GSMaP-retrievals are compared to TRMM/PR rainfalls, GPROF-retrievals, and gauge-based data
