RISIntercalibrated Passive Microwave Rain Products from the Unified Microwave Ocean Retrieval Algorithm (UMORA)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Unified Microwave Ocean Retrieval Algorithm (UMORA) simultaneously retrieves sea surface temperature, surface wind speed, columnar water vapor, columnar cloud water, and surface rain rate from a variety of passive ...
Correcting Active Scatterometer Data for the Effects of Rain Using Passive Radiometer Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A model for the effects of rain on scatterometer data is proposed. Data from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR) and the SeaWinds scatterometer, both on the Midori-II satellite, are used. The model includes ...
Uncertainty in Signals of Large-Scale Climate Variations in Radiosonde and Satellite Upper-Air Temperature Datasets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: There is no single reference dataset of long-term global upper-air temperature observations, although several groups have developed datasets from radiosonde and satellite observations for climate-monitoring purposes. The ...
The Status of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) after Two Years in Orbit
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite was launched on 27 November 1997, and data from all the instruments first became available approximately 30 days after the launch. Since then, much progress has been ...
Results of WetNet PIP-2 Project
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The second WetNet Precipitation Intercomparison Project (PIP-2) evaluates the performance of 20 satellite precipitation retrieval algorithms, implemented for application with Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) passive ...
