RISOceanic Rain Column Height Derived from SSM/I
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The climatology of oceanic rain column height derived from 12 years (July 1987?June 1999) of Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) data is presented. The estimation procedure is based on a technique developed by Wilheit ...
Nonsystematic Errors of Monthly Oceanic Rainfall Derived from SSM/I
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: About 10 yr (July 1987?December 1997 with December 1987 missing) of oceanic monthly rainfall based on data taken by the Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) on board the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program satellites ...
Retrieval of Monthly Rainfall Indices from Microwave Radiometric Measurements Using Probability Distribution Functions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An algorithm for the estimation of monthly rain totals for 5° cells over the oceans from histograms of SSM/I brightness temperatures has been developed. Them are three novel features to this algorithm. First, it uses ...
Estimation of the Diurnal Cycle of Oceanic Precipitation from SSM/I Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A study of differences between the morning and evening monthly rainfall for 5° ? 5° cells over the oceans from the SSM/I data has been conducted. The monthly rainfalls are estimated from the technique given by Wilheit et ...
Random Errors of Oceanic Monthly Rainfall Derived from SSM/I Using Probability Distribution Functions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Global averages and random errors associated with the monthly oceanic rain rates derived from the Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) data using the technique developed by Wilheit et al. are computed. Accounting for ...
Comparison Of Monthly Rain Rates Derived from GPI and SSM/I Using Probability Distribution Functions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Three years of monthly rain rates over 5° ? 5° latitude?longitude boxes have been calculated for oceanic regions 50°N?50°S from measurements taken by the Special Sensor Microwave/Imager on board the Defense Meteorological ...
Using the Special Sensor Microwave Imager to Monitor Surface Wetness
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The frequencies flown on the Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) are sensitive to liquid water near the earth's surface. These frequencies are primarily atmospheric window channels, which receive the majority of their ...
The Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP) Combined Precipitation Dataset
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP) has released the GPCP Version 1 Combined Precipitation Data Set, a global, monthly precipitation dataset covering the period July 1987 through December 1995. The primary ...
The Version-2 Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP) Monthly Precipitation Analysis (1979–Present)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP) Version-2 Monthly Precipitation Analysis is described. This globally complete, monthly analysis of surface precipitation at 2.5° latitude ? 2.5° longitude resolution is ...
