Abstract: Since the launch of the Ocean Topography Experiment (TOPEX)/Poseidon in 1992, several studies have demonstrated that dual-frequency altimeter measurements cannot only accurately detect rain events but can also be used to ...

Abstract: High-rate (20 Hz) altimeter echo waveforms are particularly sensitive to small-scale changes of surface backscatter and they contain a wealth of information on the sea surface. A detailed analysis of these waveforms often ...

Abstract: Information on the spatial and temporal variability of rain rate is important not only for meteorology and hydrology but also for the design of remote sensing and in situ measuring or of millimeter wave communication ...
