RISA Class of Single- and Dual-Frequency Algorithms for Rain-Rate Profiling from a Spaceborne Radar. Pad I: Principle and Tests from Numerical Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A class of single- and dual-frequency algorithms that can be used to infer rain-rate profile from a downward-looking spaceborne radar operating at attenuating frequencies is presented. These algorithms rely on use of ...
Rainfall-Rate Retrieval from a Spaceborne Radar: Comparison between Single-Frequency, Dual-Frequency, and Dual-Beam Techniques
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper investigates the performances achievable in the retrieval of rain-rate profile from a spaceborne radar operating at attenuated frequencies. Results obtained from three radar systems using relevant range-profiling ...
Proposal for a Spaceborne Dual-Beam Rain Radar with Doppler Capability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The potential characteristics and performances of a spaceborne dual-beam radar (or stereo radar) operating at 24 GHz, and devoted primarily to the retrieval of rain-rate structure by using the stereo-radar analysis, were ...
A Class of Single- and Dual-Frequency Algorithms for Rain-Rate Profiling from a Spaceborne Radar. Part II: Tests from Airborne Radar Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In Part I, four single-frequency (SF) algorithms and a dual-frequency (DF) algorithm for range profiling of the rain rate from a spaceborne radar were described and tested from numerical simulations. In Part II, performances ...
