Cloud and Precipitation Observation by Spaceborne Radar in Japan: Current and Future Missions
The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) is a Japan-US joint satellite mission which equips the world first spaceborne precipitation radar (PR) as well as microwave imager (TMI) and has been producing very valuable precipitation data more than twelve years. This long term precipitation record including vertical profile information from the TRMM PR made it possible to provide not only the ...
متن کاملSimulation of Space-borne Radar Observations of Precipitation at Ku and Ka Band
Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) is poised to be the next generation precipitation observations from space after the TRMM mission. The GPM will carry a dual-frequency precipitation radar (DPR), operating at Ku and Ka band frequencies. Since space-borne precipitation observations have never been done in Ka band before, extensive research work on dualfrequency radar, including electromagnet...
متن کاملSimilarities and Improvements of GPM Dual-Frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR) upon TRMM Precipitation Radar (PR) in Global Precipitation Rate Estimation, Type Classification and Vertical Profiling
Spaceborne precipitation radars are powerful tools used to acquire adequate and highquality precipitation estimates with high spatial resolution for a variety of applications in hydrological research. The Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission, which deployed the first spaceborne Kaand Ku-dual frequency radar (DPR), was launched in February 2014 as the upgraded successor of the Tropical...
متن کاملIntercomparison of Vertical Structure of Storms Revealed by Ground-Based (NMQ) and Spaceborne Radars (CloudSat-CPR and TRMM-PR)
Spaceborne radars provide great opportunities to investigate the vertical structure of clouds and precipitation. Two typical spaceborne radars for such a study are the W-band Cloud Profiling Radar (CPR) and Ku-band Precipitation Radar (PR), which are onboard NASA's CloudSat and TRMM satellites, respectively. Compared to S-band ground-based radars, they have distinct scattering characteristics f...
متن کاملPrecipitation Estimation from Radar and Radiometric Observations from Trmm Data Using Artificial Neural Networks
Artificial Neural Network (ANN) technique has been used for the estimation of precipitation, mainly from passive and active microwave measurements from space. ANN has been used to estimate precipitation using TRMM Microwave Imager (TMI) onboard Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite. A precipitation algorithm designed to generate rainfall estimates using a combination of TMI and T...
