The Campaign

The Tropical Rain Measuring Mission Kwajalein Validation Experiment (TRMM-KWAJEX) NASA field campaign cooperated with NOAA and the U.S. Army Kwajalein Atoll/Kwajalein Missile Range. The campaign’s primary goal was to provide ground validation for instruments aboard the TRMM satellite by gathering coordinated airborne, shipborne, and ground-based measurements within tropical open ocean precipitating clouds. TRMM-KWAJEX had one deployment during the boreal summer of 1999 over the Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands. TRMM-KWAJEX was funded through the NASA Atmospheric Dynamics and Precipitation Programs
