stratocumulus clouds and was widely distributed mainly over ocean. Note that warm rain in this study includes cumulus congestus, which was not included in the shallow rain measurements of Short and Nakamura (2000) . We must also consider the limitations of TRMM PR for shallow rain observation. Short and Nakamura (2000) pointed out that the intensity of shallow rain may be underestimated because of insufficient radar sensitivity to weak rain or drizzle and surface-clutter contamination in shallow rain
