Path-averaged rainfall estimation using microwave links: Uncertainty due to spatial rainfall variability
[1] Microwave links can be used to estimate the pathaveraged rain rate along the link when precipitation occurs. They take advantage of the near proportionality between the specific attenuation affecting the link signal and the rain rate. This paper deals with the influence of the spatial variability of rainfall along the link on the accuracy of the rainfall estimates. We focus on single-polari...
متن کاملQuantifying Model Output Uncertainty Due to Spatial Variability of Rainfall'
Traditionally in the application of hydrologic/water quality (H/WQ) models, rainfall is assumed to be spatially homogeneous and is considered not to contribute to output uncertainty. The objective of this study was to assess the uncertainty induced in model outputs solely due to rainfall spatial variability. The study was conducted using the AGNPS model and the rainfall pattern captured by a ne...
متن کاملDynamic rainfall monitoring using microwave links
In this work, we propose a sparsity-exploiting dynamic rainfall monitoring methodology using rain-induced attenuation measurements frommicrowave links. To estimate rainfall field intensity dynamically from a limited number of non-linear measurements, we exploit physical properties of the rainfall such as spatial sparsity and non-negativity along with the dynamics of rainfall intensity. We devel...
متن کاملRainfall estimation using spaceborne microwave radar and radiometric measurements
The present paper deals with some of the recent remote sensing techniques for the estimation of rainfall, mainly from passive and active microwave measurements from space. The sensitivity analysis based on forward approach following the radiative transfer modelling using data from ECMWF and mesoscale models is presented. The inverse methods of retrieving rainfall from satellite microwave measur...
