Abstract

One of the goals of the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) Couple Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE) was to better understand the ocean-atmosphere interactions in the western Pacific Ocean warm pool. An important component of the moisture, heat, and momentum budgets in the warm pool region is surface rainfall. One method for retrieving surface rainfall is through the use of radar reflectivity fields. The radar reflectivity data set provided the means for a high temporal and spatial analysis of surface rainfall during TOGA COARE. In order to determine the best estimate of surface rainfall, the radar-derived rainfall has been compared with other rainfall estimates. For instance, the radar-derived rainfall products have been compared with satellite retrieved rainfall and current studies are underway comparing radar-derived rainfall to optical raingauge and sounding rainfall estimates.
