How is gpm better than TRMM?
The GMI has a greater frequency range than TRMM’s (13 channels versus 9 channels), which allows GPM to measure precipitation intensity and type through all cloud layers using a wider data swath. One of the most significant evolutions in GPM data is its broader global coverage.

What are some of the capabilities of the TRMM satellite?
TRMM precipitation measurements have made critical inputs to tropical cyclone forecasting, numerical weather prediction, and precipitation climatologies, among many other topics, as well as a wide array of societal applications. TRMM officially ended on April 15, 2015 after the spacecraft depleted its fuel reserves.
