Introduction

The FTP site ftp://agnes.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/huffman/rt_examples contains 
a variety of detailed documentation and example images and movies for 
the TRMM Near-Real-Time precipitation data sets, which are available

is a brief guide to the various rt_examples files and subdirectories.
Routinely updated examples and archived cases are posted to the TRMM
