Development of Precipitation Type Classification Algorithms for a Full Scan Mode of GPM Dual-frequency Precipitation Radar
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Dual-frequency Radar (DPR) has operated in full scan (FS) mode both the Ku-band and Ka-band since May 2018. This FS can enable about 245 km swath dual-frequency processing for first time, whereas previous algorithms enabled narrower inner swath, having a width of approximately 125 km. paper describes classification (CSF) module newly developed DPR level 2 V06X experimental corresponding to mode. CSF classifies precipitation as three major types, stratiform, convective, other, provides bright-band (BB) information.

Similarities and Improvements of GPM Dual-Frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR) upon TRMM Precipitation Radar (PR) in Global Precipitation Rate Estimation, Type Classification and Vertical Profiling
Spaceborne precipitation radars are powerful tools used to acquire adequate and highquality precipitation estimates with high spatial resolution for a variety of applications in hydrological research. The Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission, which deployed the first spaceborne Kaand Ku-dual frequency radar (DPR), was launched in February 2014 as the upgraded successor of the Tropical...
متن کاملGlobal Precipitation Mission (GPM) and Dual-Wavelength Radar (DPR)
Global precipitation measurement is essential not only for the research of the global change but also for the water resources management. Currently, satellite precipitation measurement is not sufficient for the detailed study of the precipitation and is far from enough for the water resources management which requires very high spatial and temporal resolution. To fill the gap at least partly, t...

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the use of polarimetric observations in a radar-based winter hydrometeor classification algorithm. This is accomplished by deriving bulk electromagnetic scattering properties of stratiform, cold-season rain, freezing rain, sleet, dry aggregated snowflakes, dendritic snow crystals, and platelike snow crystals at X-, C-, and S-band wavelengths based on ...
