Abstract: In this paper a sea surface radar echo spectral analysis technique to correct for the rainfall velocity error caused by radar-pointing uncertainty is presented. The correction procedure is quite straightforward when the ...

Abstract: Information on the global distribution of vertical velocity of precipitating particles is needed in estimating latent heat fluxes, and therefore in the general study of energy transportation phenomena in the atmosphere. ...

Abstract: For vertical Doppler velocity measurements of a homogeneous rain field, the standard spectral moment estimation techniques commonly used by ground-based and airborne Doppler rain radars can be readily extended for spaceborne ...
