Abstract

Subtropical South America experiences some of the world's most intense deep convective storms, which generate heavy precipitation. To study such storms, scientists commonly use the Precipitation Radar on the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite. However, studies have shown that the algorithm used to estimate rainfall from this instrument tends to significantly underestimate precipitation in regions of intense deep convection over land.
