A Study of Rain Estimation Methods from Space Using Dual-Wavelength Radar Measurements at Near-Nadir Incidence over Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A question arising from the recent interest in spaceborne weather radar is what methods can be used to estimate precipitation parameters from space. In this paper, dual-wavelength airborne radar data obtained from flights ...
Effects of Incorporating a Brightband Model in a Downward-Looking Radar Rainfall Retrieval Algorithm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A range-profiling method proposed for nadir-looking rain radar has been investigated using aircraft measurements of a typhoon event at 10 and 35 GHz. In order to take into account the effects of change in the hydrometeor ...
The Status of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) after Two Years in Orbit
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite was launched on 27 November 1997, and data from all the instruments first became available approximately 30 days after the launch. Since then, much progress has been ...
