Considerations for the use of radar-derived precipitation estimates in determining return intervals for extreme areal precipitation amounts
To explore the feasibility of radar-based extreme precipitation climatologies, prototype radar areal reduction factor (ARF) curves are developed and compared to those based on traditional rain gauge networks. For both the radar and gauge data, increasing the spatial density of observations has little influence on the ARF relationship. However, independently, considerable differences between rad...
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 کاملMulti-scale Comparison of Stage Iv Nexrad (mpe) and Gauge Precipitation Data for Watershed Modeling
Watershed hydrologic and fate-andtransport models are widely used to forecast water quantity and quality responses to alternative land use and climate change scenarios. The ability of such tools to forecast changes in ecosystem services with reasonable accuracy depends on calibrating reliable simulations of streamflow, which in turn require accurate climatic forcing data. Precipitation is widel...
متن کاملGIS-based NEXRAD Stage III precipitation database: automated approaches for data processing and visualization
This study develops a geographical information system (GIS) approach for automated processing of the Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD) Stage III precipitation data. The automated processing system, implemented by using commercial GIS and a number of Perl scripts and C/C++ programs, allows for rapid data display, requires less storage capacity, and provides the analytical and data visualiza...
متن کاملEvaluation of satellite‐retrieved extreme precipitation rates across the central United States
[1] Water resources management, forecasting, and decision making require reliable estimates of precipitation. Extreme precipitation events are of particular importance because of their severe impact on the economy, the environment, and the society. In recent years, the emergence of various satellite‐retrieved precipitation products with high spatial resolutions and global coverage have resulted...
