Abstract :
Through content based browsing, the TSDIS Orbit Viewer can help scientists decide which files to order from the TRMM archive. The Orbit Viewer´s Mission Index can locate large-scale rain events in six terabytes of data. The Orbit Viewer´s TRMM Tracker can locate coincidences between the TRMM orbit and a user-defined surface track
