Abstract: The nonsphericity of many atmospheric particles is often raised as an objection to radiative transfer analyses which assume sphericity. This paper studies the behavior of extinction and absorption cross sections, as well ...

Abstract: Based on the fundamental relationship involving the interaction of microwave radiation with precipitation, microwave-based satellite precipitation estimates hold the most promise for quantitative rain estimation from space. ...

Abstract: A microwave-based, profile-type precipitation retrieval algorithm has been used to analyze high-resolution passive microwave measurements over an ocean background, obtained by the Advanced Microwave Precipitation ...
