Description of QuikSCAT can be found in Graf et al. [1998] and on TRMM in Kummerow et al. [1998]. The methodology of producing the uniformly gridded wind field through objective interpolation is constantly under improvement. The parameters used in the successive correction method can be adjusted to specific applications. Past development is described in Tang and Liu [1996] and Liu et al. [1998]
