Global Precipitation Retrievals Using the NOAA AMSU Millimeter-Wave Channels: Comparisons with Rain Gauges
A surface-precipitation-rate retrieval algorithm for 13-channel Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU) millimeter-wave spectral observations from 23 to 191 GHz is described. It was trained using cloudresolving fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University–National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model (MM5) simulations over 106 global storms. The resulting retrievals from the U.S. N...

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics Discussions This discussion paper is/has been under review for the journal Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (ACP). Please refer to the corresponding final paper in ACP if available. Abstract A unique feature of the VOCALS Regional Experiment was the inclusion of a small, inexpensive, zenith-pointing millimeter-wavelength passive radiometer on the fourteen rese...
متن کاملAIRS/AMSU/HSB precipitation estimates
-Precipitation rates (mm/h) with 15and 50-km horizontal resolution are among the initial products of AIRS/AMSU/HSB. They will help identify the meteorological state of the atmosphere and any AIRS soundings potentially contaminated by precipitation. These retrieval methods can also be applied to the AMSU 23-191 GHz data from operational weather satellites such as NOAA-15, -16, and -17. The globa...
متن کاملAssessing satellite-based precipitation estimates in the Southern Appalachian mountains using rain gauges and TRMM PR
A study was performed using the first full year of rain gauge records from a newly deployed network in the Southern Appalachian mountains. This is a region characterized by complex topography with orographic rainfall enhancement up to 300% over small distances (<8 km). Rain gauge observations were used to assess precipitation estimates from the Precipitation Radar (PR) on board of the TRMM sate...
متن کاملA Verification Study over Europe of Amsu-a/mhs and Ssmis Passive Microwave Precipitation Retrievals
Global monitoring of the precipitation requires the full exploitation of all overpasses of present and future satellites carrying cross-track and conically scanning passive microwave (PMW) radiometers. Therefore, it is essential to achieve consistency and accuracy of passive microwave precipitation retrievals from the different sensors orbiting around the globe. Within the EUMETSAT H-SAF progra...
