A global assessment of the timing of extreme rainfall from TRMM and GPM for improving hydrologic design

The tropical rainfall measuring mission (TRMM) has revolutionized the measurement of precipitation worldwide. However, TRMM significantly underestimates rainfall in deep convection systems, being therefore of little help for the analysis of extreme precipitation depths. This work evaluates the abili...
