South Australia then had its second driest autumn on record in 2018, with rainfall measuring 57 mm (2.24 inches) below average.

Tropical rainfall measuring mission microwave imager.
The proposed approach is based on the blending of the geostationary meteosat second generation (MSG), infrared channel with the low-earth orbiting passive tropical rainfall measuring mission (TRMM).
Therefore, motivated by the need to use multispectral information to better rainfall detection, we used four spectral parameters, from IR sensors of spinning enhanced visible and infrared imager (SEVIRI) radiometer, onboard meteosat second generation (MSG) satellite, combined with three parameters calculated from microwave imager (TMI) of tropical rainfall measuring mission (TRMM) satellite.
The motivation behind this methodology is to utilize existing systems such as cellular networks to improve the quality of rainfall estimates using rain gauges and radar, as well as to use it as an independent rainfall measuring unit in areas, where traditional measuring modalities are scarce.
Rainfall estimates were based on National Aeronautics and Space Administration data for the study region bounded by the rectangle (18.2° 18.6°N, 17.1° 17.8°W) by using the average daily rainfall measurement tool, Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission 3B42_daily (21 ).
NASA's current satellite for research and monitoring precipitation, known as the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), only takes measurements between 35 degrees north and south.
Multi-mission remotely sensed precipitation measurements from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) and evaporation products from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), as well as ground-based water discharge measurements are applied to close the water balance equation.
The analysis involves four steps: First, a comparison of rain gauge measurements and the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) 3B42 data at such rain gauge locations is carried out.
This rainfall retrieval algorithm is designed to estimate rainfall using a combination of SSM/I and Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Radar (PR) measurements.
