RISThe Impact of Spatial Resolution Enhancement of SSM/I Microwave Brightness Temperatures on Rainfall Retrieval Algorithms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The impact of spatial resolution enhancement on estimates of tropical typhoon rainfall based on SSM/1 (Special Sensor Microwave/Imager) measurements is evaluated with six different microwave precipitation retrieval algorithms. ...
Simulations of the Effects of Water Vapor, Cloud Liquid Water, and Ice on AMSU Moisture Channel Brightness Temperatures
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Radiative transfer simulations are performed to determine how water vapor and nonprecipitating cloud liquid water and ice particles within typical midlatitude atmospheres affect brightness temperatures TB's of moisture ...
Foundations for Statistical-Physical Precipitation Retrieval from Passive Microwave Satellite Measurements. Part I: Brightness-Temperature Properties of a Time-dependent Cloud-Radiation Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A cloud-radiation model is used to investigate the relationship between emerging microwave brightness temperatures (TB's) and vertically distributed mixtures of liquid and frozen hydrometeors as a means to establish the ...
Estimating 13.8-GHz Path-Integrated Attenuation from 10.7-GHz Brightness Temperatures for the TRMM Combined PR–TMI Precipitation Algorithm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study presents research in support of the design and implementation of a combined radar?radiometer algorithm to be used for precipitation retrieval during the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM). The combined ...
Use of Cloud Model Microphysics for Passive Microwave-Based Precipitation Retrieval: Significance of Consistency between Model and Measurement Manifolds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Precipitation estimation from passive microwave radiometry based on physically based profile retrieval algorithms must be aided by a microphysical generator providing structure information on the lower portions of the ...
