RISA Simulation Study of the Bias Error Analysis of Mean Rainfall Rates Measured with Spaceborne Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Spaceborne rain radars often operate with a fairly low SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) because of several hardware limitations and the large distance between the radar and target. Rain radar do not directly measure the rain ...
Simulation-Based Analysis of Dependence of the Mean Storm Height Measured by a Spaceborne Radar on Its Angle from the Nadir
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) is a joint project between the United States and Japan on rain measurement from space. The first spaceborne rain radar was carried aboard the TRMM satellite. To achieve a ...
Test of the Specific Differential Propagation Phase Shift (KDP) Technique for Rain-Rate Estimation with a Ku-Band Rain Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The variation in drop size distribution (DSD) and the attenuation at higher frequencies are the two major impairments for quantitative rain-rate estimation. The sensitivity of rain-rate estimators (such as reflectivity ...
