Use of the Surface Reference Technique for Path Attenuation Estimates from the TRMM Precipitation Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Estimates of rain rate from the precipitation radar (PR) aboard the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite require a means by which the radar signal attenuation can be corrected. One of the methods available ...
Rain-Profiling Algorithm for the TRMM Precipitation Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) standard algorithm that estimates the vertical profiles of attenuation-corrected radar reflectivity factor and rainfall rate. In particular, this paper ...
Quantitative Measurements of Path-Integrated Rain Rate by an Airborne Microwave Radiometer over the Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data on the airborne microwave radiometer, which is one of the sensors of the airborne microwave rain-scatterometer/radiometer (AMRS) system, are analyzed to infer path-integrated rain rate measured from topside. The ...
