A 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...
متن کاملMicrowave Radiation from Mixed Phase Cloud and Parameter Retrievals
The measurement of microwave radiation has been widely used in atmospheric remote sensing, such as temperature profiling, and vapor and liquid column measurements [1] [5]. The radiation from atmosphere is due to the absorption (emission) and scattering of electromagnetic (EM) wave by atmospheric particles (gaseous molecules, liquid water droplets and ice crystals). The absorption directly contr...
متن کاملBeamfilling Errors in Passive Microwave Rainfall Retrievals
There are currently large numbers of rainfall retrieval algorithms based upon passive microwave radiances. Most of these algorithms are physically based in that they use explicit physical assumptions to derive relationships between brightness temperatures (Tb’s) and rainfall. If these assumptions involve observable quantities, then the physical basis of the algorithms can be extended to determi...
متن کاملImpacts of a-priori databases using six WRF microphysics schemes on passive microwave rainfall retrievals
Physically based rainfall retrievals from passive microwave sensors often make use of cloud-resolving models (CRMs) to build a priori databases of potential rain structures. EachCRM, however, has its own cloud microphysics assumptions. Hence, approximated microphysics may cause uncertainties in the a priori information resulting in inaccurate rainfall estimates. This study first builds a priori...
متن کاملImpact of Cloud Model Microphysics on Passive Microwave Retrievals of Cloud Properties. Part I: Model Comparison Using EOF Analyses
The impact of model microphysics on the relationships among hydrometeor profiles, latent heating, and derived satellite microwave brightness temperatures TB have been examined using a nonhydrostatic, adaptive-grid cloud model to simulate a mesoscale convective system over water. Two microphysical schemes (each employing three-ice bulk parameterizations) were tested for two different assumptions...
