RISSampling Simulation of TRMM Rainfall Estimation Using Radar AMeDAS Composites
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Sampling errors of rainfall retrieved by a low-inclination, low-altitude satellite, such as the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite, are estimated by using radar?AMeDAS (Automatic Meteorological Data ...
TRMM Sampling of Radar–AMeDAS Rainfall Using the Threshold Method
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: It is known that spatially averaged rainfall rate ?R? is highly correlated with the fractional area (F) of rain rate exceeding a preset threshold (τ), when the area is large enough to include numerous convective systems ...
Detection of Intense Ice Precipitation with GPM/DPR
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractDetection of ice precipitation is one of the objectives in the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission. The dual-frequency precipitation radar (DPR) can provide precipitation echoes at two different frequencies, ...
Finescale Diurnal Rainfall Statistics Refined from Eight Years of TRMM PR Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The adequacy of hourly rainfall sampling was examined in terms of the detection of diurnal variations using 8 yr (1998?2005) of data observed by the precipitation radar on the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) ...
Comparison of Global and Seasonal Characteristics of Cloud Phase and Horizontal Ice Plates Derived from CALIPSO with MODIS and ECMWF
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study analyzed the global and seasonal characteristics of cloud phase and ice crystal orientation (CTYPE-lidar) by using the Cloud?Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) on board the Cloud?Aerosol Lidar ...
Comparison of Rainfall Products Derived from TRMM Microwave Imager and Precipitation Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Satellite remote sensing is an indispensable means of measuring and monitoring precipitation on a global scale. The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) is continuing to make significant progress in helping the global ...

A Statistical Method for Reducing Sidelobe Clutter for the Ku-Band Precipitation Radar on board the GPM Core Observatory
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: statistical method to reduce the sidelobe clutter of the Ku-band precipitation radar (KuPR) of the Dual-Frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR) on board the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Core Observatory is described ...
Incidence-Angle Dependency of TRMM PR Rain Estimates
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he incidence-angle differences of estimated surface rainfall obtained from the precipitation radar (PR) on board the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite were investigated. The bias before the orbit boost ...
Cloud assumption of Precipitation Retrieval Algorithms for the Dual-frequency Precipitation Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An assumption related to clouds is one of uncertain factors in precipitation retrievals by the Dual-frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR) onboard the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Core Observatory. While an attenuation ...
