at Overpass Times |
The calendar below indicates the date and time of day IN LOCAL TIME of each TRMM overpass over the Kwajalein area during KWAJEX. The precipitation radar (PR) and TRMM microwave imager (TMI) cover swaths of 215 km and 760 km, respectively. A number rating from 1 to 6 indicates the quality of the overpass in terms of the percentage of overlap of the Kwajalein S-band radar area (150 km radius centered on Kwajalein) with the PR and TMI swaths.
| Rating | Overpass coverage | Dist of satellite track from radar |
| 1 | >75% PR (100% TMI) | 0-40 km |
| 2 | 50-75% PR(100% TMI) | 60-120 km |
| 3 | 25-50% PR(100% TMI) | 140-180 km |
| 4 | >75% TMI | 200-320 km |
| 5 | 50-75% TMI | 340-400 km |
| 6 | 25-50% TMI | 420-460 km |
Obtain the overpass map by clicking on the rating number at an overpass time.
Red shading indicates that aircraft were flying within the TRMM satellite swath with precipitation present at the time of overpass.
