Abstract: Empirical relationships between visible and/or IR data and rainfall rate are derived by comparing gage-calibrated radar data with colocated satellite information over Montreal, Canada. The accuracy of 1739 point gage-satellite ...

Abstract: Digital weather radar data have been used with a simple pattern recognition procedure to automatically generate precipitation forecasts in the zero to three hours range. Such a technique has been in real time operation for ...

Abstract: An algorithm yielding probability of rain from GOES visible-infrared imagery and simultaneous radar data is applied over a satellite image the size of eastern Canada. It is then mapped by means of a conic projection an a ...
