Abstract: This paper extends the work of Dinku and Anagnostou overland rain retrieval algorithm for use with Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) observations. In Dinku and Anagnostou, Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) ...

Abstract: The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite carries a combination of active [precipitation radar (PR)] and multichannel passive microwave [the TRMM Microwave Imager (TMI)] sensors, which advance our ability ...

Abstract: Seasonal differences in the calibration of overland passive microwave rain retrieval are investigated using Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Microwave Imager (TMI) and precipitation radar (PR). Four geographic ...

Abstract: This paper investigates a multicomponent radar-based rainfall estimation algorithm that includes optimum parameter estimation and error correction schemes associated with radar operation over mountainous terrain. Algorithm ...

Abstract: Seven different satellite rainfall estimates are evaluated at daily and 10-daily time scales and a spatial resolution of 0.25° latitude/longitude. The reference data come from a relatively dense station network of about ...

Abstract: This paper evaluates rainfall detection capabilities of seven satellite rainfall estimates over the desert locust recession regions of the world. The region of interest covers the arid and semiarid region from northwestern ...

Abstract: Since the successful launch of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite, measurements of a wide variety of precipitating systems have been obtained with unprecedented detail from the first space-based radar ...

Abstract: AbstractUnderstanding the dynamics and physics of climate extremes will be a critical challenge for twenty-first-century climate science. Increasing temperatures and saturation vapor pressures may exacerbate heat waves, ...
