Daytime Precipitation Estimation Using Bispectral Cloud Classification System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two previously developed Precipitation Estimation from Remotely Sensed Information using Artificial Neural Networks (PERSIANN) algorithms that incorporate cloud classification system (PERSIANN-CCS) and multispectral analysis ...
A Microwave Infrared Threshold Technique to Improve the GOES Precipitation Index
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method to improve the GOES Precipitation Index (GPI) technique by combining satellite microwave and infrared (IR) data is proposed and tested. Using microwave-based rainfall estimates, the method, termed the Universally ...
Evaluating the Utility of Multispectral Information in Delineating the Areal Extent of Precipitation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data from geosynchronous Earth-orbiting (GEO) satellites equipped with visible (VIS) and infrared (IR) scanners are commonly used in rain retrieval algorithms. These algorithms benefit from the high spatial and temporal ...
PERSIANN-MSA: A Precipitation Estimation Method from Satellite-Based Multispectral Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Visible and infrared data obtained from instruments onboard geostationary satellites have been extensively used for monitoring clouds and their evolution. The Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) that will be launched onboard ...
REFAME: Rain Estimation Using Forward-Adjusted Advection of Microwave Estimates
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new multiplatform multisensor satellite rainfall estimation technique is proposed in which sequences of Geostationary Earth Orbit infrared (GEO-IR) images are used to advect microwave (MW)-derived precipitation estimates ...
Geometrical Characterization of Precipitation Patterns
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Satellite estimates and weather forecast models have made it possible to observe and predict precipitation over large spatial scales. Despite substantial progress in observing patterns of precipitation, characterization ...
Evaluation of PERSIANN System Satellite–Based Estimates of Tropical Rainfall
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: PERSIANN, an automated system for Precipitation Estimation from Remotely Sensed Information using Artificial Neural Networks, has been developed for the estimation of rainfall from geosynchronous satellite longwave infared ...
