RISA Comparison of Total Precipitable Water between Reanalyses and NVAP
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study compares monthly total precipitable water (TPW) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Water Vapor Project (NVAP) and reanalyses of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) ...
Microwave Rainfall Estimation over Coasts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The microwave coastal rain identification procedure that has been used by NASA for over 10 yr, and also more recently by NOAA, for different instruments beginning with the Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I), is updated ...
The Development of SSM/I Rain-Rate Retrieval Algorithms Using Ground-Based Radar Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Rainfall algorithms developed for the DMSP Special Sensor Microwave/Imager are presented and then ?calibrated? against ground-based radar measurements to develop instantaneous rain-rate retrieval algorithms. These include ...
Prototyping a Generic, Unified Land Surface Classification and Screening Methodology for GPM-Era Microwave Land Precipitation Retrieval Algorithms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: prototype generic, unified land surface classification and screening methodology for Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM)-era microwave land precipitation retrieval algorithms by using ancillary datasets is developed. ...
Updated Screening Procedures for GPROF2010 over Land: Utilization for AMSR-E
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Goddard profiling algorithm 2010 (GPROF2010) was revised for the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for Earth Observing System (EOS; AMSR-E) instrument. The GPROF2010 land algorithm was developed for the Tropical ...
Superensemble Statistical Forecasting of Monthly Precipitation over the Contiguous United States, with Improvements from Ocean-Area Precipitation Predictors
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: xtended precipitation forecasts, with leads of weeks to seasons, are valuable for planning water use and are produced by the U.S. National Weather Service. Forecast skill tends to be low and any skill improvement could be ...
Estimating the Probability of Rain in an SSM/I FOV Using Logistic Regression
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The SSM/I has been used successfully to estimate precipitation and to determine the fields of view (FOV) that contain precipitating clouds. The use of multivariate logistic regression with the SSM/I brightness temperatures ...
An Eight-Year (1987–1994) Time Series of Rainfall, Clouds, Water Vapor, Snow Cover, and Sea Ice Derived from SSM/I Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I), first placed into operation in July 1987, has been making measurements of earth-emitted radiation for over eight years. These data are used to estimate both atmospheric and ...
Inference of Oceanic Rainfall Properties from the Nimbus 7 SMMR
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper presents empirically derived equations for Predicting radar reflectivity and the fraction of the field-of-view of a microwave radiometer that is filled with rain. We compare the horizontally and vertically ...
A New High-Resolution Satellite-Derived Precipitation Dataset for Climate Studies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The importance of analyzing climate at high spatiotemporal resolution has been emphasized in the recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report. Several high-resolution analyses of global precipitation have ...
