TRMM TMI Three Day Mean Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/68.004

Summary
The TRMM TMI Three Day Mean Data is one of several satellite data sets
collected by the National Center For Atmospheric Research/Earth Observing
Laboratory (NCAR/EOL) as part of the Dynamics and Chemistry of Marine
Stratocumulus Phase II: Entrainment Studies (DYCOMS-II) project. Three day
mean retrievals from the Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission (TRMM)
Microwave Imager (TMI) of sea surface temperature, surface wind speeds,
atmospheric water vapor, liquid cloud water and precipitation rates are
included in this data set. The data cover the period from 7 - 28 July 2001 and
are in binary format on a 0.25 by 0.25 degree grid. The data were acquired
from Remote Sensing Systems (http://www.ssmi.com/tmi_browse.html).
