Abstract: This paper reviews the basis of passive microwave algorithms that derive rainfall rates directly from relationships between brightness temperatures and rainfall rates established by statistical relationships and empirical ...

Abstract: The progressive refinement approach is a strategy for generating new shorter-term (less than 10 days) satellite rainfall estimation algorithms from structural combinations of an easy-to-calibrate algorithm generating longer- ...

Abstract: Using an airborne lidar, we have measured atmospheric aerosol backscatter coefficients (differential backscatter cross section per unit volume) for 10.6 ?m wavelength laser radiation as a function of height to 5200 m for ...

Abstract: The second WetNet Precipitation Intercomparison Project (PIP-2) evaluates the performance of 20 satellite precipitation retrieval algorithms, implemented for application with Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) passive ...
