ISS LIS data are available from the Global Hydrometeorology Resource Center (GHRC) Distributed Active Archive Center (DAAC) via the Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) listed in the Blakeslee (2020a, b) references. The TRMM and GPM RPF data (with LIS and WWLLN) are available for public download from http://atmos.tamucc.edu/trmm/data/. CATS data are hosted on the instrument’s archive at https://cats.gsfc.nasa.gov/data/. The ISS_Camera_Geolocate software is available from the Lang (2019) reference. The primary programming language used in the CATS/LIS analysis was Python 3.7, with significant use of the following packages: numpy, scipy, matplotlib, xarray, and h5py. Interactive Data Language (IDL; https://www.l3harrisgeospatial.com/Software-Technology/IDL) was used for the TRMM/GPM analysis.
