High resolution microwave radiometric signatures of mid-latitude and tropical rainfall

Research output: AbstractPaperpeer-review

Abstract

Combinations of both microwave and infrared sensors, including a 14 GHz radar, are included on the upcoming TRMM satellite. This project is spurring advancements in precipitation profiling retrieval algorithms, which exploit the information contained in a set of multispectral equivalent blackbody brightness temperature observations along with ancillary information to account for cloud microphysical variability. Two NASA high-resolution imaging radiometers, the AMPR and MIR are presented for the Tropical Ocean-Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment (TOGA-COARE). Multichannel TOGA-COARE observations are discussed and tropical and midlatitude rainfall are compared.
