The TMI measures the intensity of radiation at five separate frequencies: 10.7, 19.4, 21.3, 37.0, 85.5 GHz. These frequencies are similar to those of the SSM/I, except that TMI has the additional 10.7 GHz channel designed to provide a more-linear response for the high rainfall rates common in tropical rainfall.
Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) is a joint mission between JAXA and NASA as well as other international space agencies to make frequent (every 2–3 hours) observations of Earth's precipitation. It is part of NASA's Earth Systematic Missions program and works with a satellite constellation to provide full global coverage.

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is the division of the United States' NOAA/National Weather Service responsible for tracking and predicting tropical weather systems between the Prime Meridian and the 140th meridian west poleward to the 30th parallel north in the northeast Pacific Ocean and the 31st parallel north in the northern Atlantic Ocean.
Tropical cyclones from the eastern Pacific bring nearly 20 percent of the average annual rainfall to southern California. [1] The average storm total rainfall for a tropical cyclone impacting the contiguous United States from the Atlantic basin is about 16 in (410 mm), with 70 to 75 percent of the storm total falling within a 24‑hour period.
As of 8 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 31 (Labor Day is Monday, Sept. 2), the National Hurricane Center in Miami was tracking three tropical systems in the North Atlantic, Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico.
