Intercalibrated Passive Microwave Rain Products from the Unified Microwave Ocean Retrieval Algorithm (UMORA)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Unified Microwave Ocean Retrieval Algorithm (UMORA) simultaneously retrieves sea surface temperature, surface wind speed, columnar water vapor, columnar cloud water, and surface rain rate from a variety of passive ...
Correcting Active Scatterometer Data for the Effects of Rain Using Passive Radiometer Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A model for the effects of rain on scatterometer data is proposed. Data from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR) and the SeaWinds scatterometer, both on the Midori-II satellite, are used. The model includes ...
Challenges to Satellite Sensors of Ocean Winds: Addressing Precipitation Effects
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: easurements of global ocean surface winds made by orbiting satellite radars have provided valuable information to the oceanographic and meteorological communities since the launch of the Seasat in 1978, by the National ...
