Bayesian Estimation of Precipitation from Satellite Passive Microwave Observations Using Combined Radar–Radiometer Retrievals
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Precipitation estimation from satellite passive microwave radiometer observations is a problem that does not have a unique solution that is insensitive to errors in the input data. Traditionally, to make this problem well ...
Precipitating Snow Retrievals from Combined Airborne Cloud Radar and Millimeter-Wave Radiometer Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An algorithm for retrieving snow over oceans from combined cloud radar and millimeter-wave radiometer observations is developed. The algorithm involves the use of physical models to simulate cloud radar and millimeter-wave ...
Overland Precipitation Estimation from TRMM Passive Microwave Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Procedures for passive microwave precipitation estimation over land are investigated based on a large database of Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) observations. The procedures include components for rain area ...
An Efficient Methodology for Detection of Anomalous Propagation Echoes in Radar Reflectivity Data Using Neural Networks
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: To detect anomalous propagation echoes in radar data, an automated procedure based on a neural network classification scheme has been developed. Earlier results had indicated that algorithms used to detect anomalous ...
A Robust Dual-Frequency Radar Profiling Algorithm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this study, an algorithm to retrieve precipitation from spaceborne dual-frequency (13.8 and 35.6 GHz, or Ku/Ka band) radar observations is formulated and investigated. Such algorithms will be of paramount importance in ...
Assessment of the Use of Lightning Information in Satellite Infrared Rainfall Estimation
