Takuji Kubota,Shoichi Shige,H. Hashizume,Kazumasa Aonashi,Nobuhiro Takahashi,Sinta Seto,Yukari N. Takayabu,Tomoo Ushio,Katsuhiro Nakagawa,Koyuru Iwanami,Misako Kachi,Ken-ichi Okamoto +11 more
TL;DR: Rain rates retrieved from the GSMaP_TMI are in better agreement with the PR estimates over land everywhere except over tropical Africa in the boreal summer.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Kalman Filter Approach to the Global Satellite Mapping of Precipitation (GSMaP) from Combined Passive Microwave and Infrared Radiometric Data
Tomoo Ushio,Kazushi Sasashige,Takuji Kubota,Shoichi Shige,Ken-ichi Okamoto,Kazumasa Aonashi,Toshiro Inoue,Nobuhiro Takahashi,Toshio Iguchi,Misako Kachi,Riko Oki,Takeshi Morimoto,Zen-Ichiro Kawasaki +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, a system has been developed and implemented that integrates passive microwave radiometer data with IR data in order to have high temporal (1 hour) and spatial (0.1 degree) resolution global precipitation estimates.
Journal ArticleDOI
