RISIntercomparison of Attenuation Correction Methods for the GPM Dual-Frequency Precipitation Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: new attenuation correction method has been developed for the dual-frequency precipitation radar (DPR) on the core satellite of the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission. The new method is based on Hitschfeld and ...
Rainfall-Induced Changes in Actual Surface Backscattering Cross Sections and Effects on Rain-Rate Estimates by Spaceborne Precipitation Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this study, the authors used Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission precipitation radar (TRMM PR) data to investigate changes in the actual (attenuation corrected) surface backscattering cross section (σ0e) due to changes ...
Rain/No-Rain Classification Methods for Microwave Radiometer Observations over Land Using Statistical Information for Brightness Temperatures under No-Rain Conditions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: One of the goals of the Global Precipitation Measurement project, the successor to the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), is to produce a 3-hourly global rainfall map using several spaceborne microwave radiometers. ...
Advanced Rain/No-Rain Classification Methods for Microwave Radiometer Observations over Land
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Seto et al. developed rain/no-rain classification (RNC) methods over land for the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Microwave Imager (TMI). In this study, the methods are modified for application to other microwave ...
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 ...
