The outlook for precipitation measurements from space
TL;DR: In this article, an adaptive-pointing multi-sensor instrument is described that would exploit certain advantages of the visible/IR, radiometric and radar methods for precipitation estimation.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
On the use of the log-normal particle size distribution to characterize global rain
TL;DR: The parameterization provides a means by which the spaceborne radar-derived DSD parameters can be used to specify in part the covariance matrices globally, since satellite observations have coarse temporal sampling, the specification of the temporal covariance must be derived from ancillary measurements and models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduction of Nonuniform Beamfilling Effects by Multiple Constraints: A Simulation Study
TL;DR: In this paper, ground-based radar data are used to simulate spaceborne radar data at nadir and off-nadir viewing angles, where the radar return from the surface can be used to obtain constraints on the pathintegrated attenuation (PIA) for use in hybrid attenuation correction algorithms.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Precipitation rates estimated with GPM's Dual-frequency Radar
Toshio Iguchi,Shinta Seto,Jun Awaka,Robert Meneghini,Takuji Kubota,V. Chandra,Naofumi Yoshida,Nozomi Kawamoto,Riko Oki +8 more
TL;DR: The performance of precipitation retrieval algorithm is reviewed and the rainfall rates estimated with the Dual-frequency Precipitation Radar onboard the GPM's core satellite are evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
GPM DPR Retrievals: Algorithm, Evaluation, and Validation
Liang Liao,Robert Meneghini +1 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors describe the dual-frequency precipitation radar (DPR) retrieval algorithm that uses an adjustable relationship between rain rate and the mass-weighted diameter (Dm) or an R-Dm relationship in solving for R and Dm simultaneously.
