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 کاملPassive Microwave Remote Sensing of Rain from Satellite Sensors
The purpose of this chapter is to offer an accurate treatment of relevant aspects of satellite remote sensing of precipitation using passive microwave (PMW) radiometers. Microwave observations of the Earth’s system differ substantially from those based on optical and infrared wavelengths. Visible (VIS) and infrared (IR) instruments essentially sense the cloud top properties by measuring reflect...

متن کاملIce-phase Precipitation Retrievals over Land Using Combined Radar / Radiometer Satellite Observations
Passive microwave (PMW) measurements of ice-phase precipitation, such as snowfall and graupel, provide a physically direct basis for inferring the integrated amount of precipitation within a given field-of-view (FOV), assuming that other sources of noise can be adequately accounted for. However, the vertical distribution of precipitation within the FOV is generally unknown. By combining passive...
متن کاملImpact of Missing Passive Microwave Sensors on Multi-Satellite Precipitation Retrieval Algorithm
The impact of one or two missing passive microwave (PMW) input sensors on the end product of multi-satellite precipitation products is an interesting but obscure issue for both algorithm developers and data users. On 28 January 2013, the Version-7 TRMM Multi-satellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA) products were reproduced and re-released by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) G...
