Abstract: Radar meteorologists have estimated, over a number of years, rainfall rate with ground-based radars. Since the 1970s, use of weather radar as an active technique to measure rainfall from space has been proposed, and a ...

Abstract: Sea surface estimates of local winds, waves, and rain-rate conditions are crucial to complement infrared/visible satellite images in estimating the strength of tropical cyclones (TCs). Satellite measurements at microwave ...

Abstract: his paper presents a new method to analyze high-resolution altimeter waveforms in terms of surface backscatter. Over the ocean, a basic assumption of modeling altimeter echo waveforms is to consider a homogeneous sea surface ...
