Second-Generation Spaceborne Precipitation Radar
The Global Precipitation Mission is currently being planned as a follow-on to the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission. One of the key components of the GPM science instrumentation is an advanced, dual-frequency rain mapping radar. In this paper, we present a potential system concept for this secondgeneration spaceborne precipitation radar. This proposed design ncorporates s veral advanced featu...

متن کاملIntra-seasonal variability of cloud amount over the Indian subcontinent during the monsoon season as observed by TRMM precipitation radar
The intra-seasonal variability of the Indian summer monsoon, which manifests in the form of “active” and “break” phases in rainfall, is investigated with respect to the variability of the convective and stratiform precipitating cloud pattern over the region. Long period data from TRMM PR satellite (2A23 and 3B42 datasets) for the monsoon season of 2002 to 2010 over the Indian subcontinent is us...
متن کاملRainfall-Induced Changes in Actual Surface Backscattering Cross Sections and Effects on Rain-Rate Estimates by Spaceborne Precipitation Radar
In this study, the authors used Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission precipitation radar (TRMM PR) data to investigate changes in the actual (attenuation corrected) surface backscattering cross section ( e) due to changes in surface conditions induced by rainfall, the effects of changes in e on the path integrated attenuation (PIA) estimates by surface reference techniques (SRTs), and the effect...
متن کاملSpatial structures and directionalities in Monsoonal precipitation over South Asia
Precipitation during the monsoon season over the Indian subcontinent occurs in form of enormously complex spatiotemporal patterns due to the underlying dynamics of atmospheric circulation and varying topography. Employing methods from nonlinear time series analysis, we study spatial structures of the rainfall field during the summer monsoon and identify principle regions where the dynamics of m...
