Drop size ambiguities in the retrieval of precipitation profiles from dual-frequency radar measurements
The threat of flooding from landfalling tropical cyclones is a function of the local variation in rain rate and rain accumulation. To date, these have been inferred from single-frequency radar reflec-tivity measurements. However, the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission experience has confirmed that one of the main difficulties in retrieving rain profiles using a single-frequency radar is the un...
متن کاملObjectives and Characteristics of the Spaceborne Dual Frequency Precipitation Radar for GPM
The Dual-frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR) installed on the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) core satellite is being developed by JAXA and NICT. This paper describes the mission objectives, the precipitation measurement method and techniques, and the construction of the DPR. Keywords-GPM; DPR; precpitation measurement
متن کاملSecond-Generation Spaceborne Precipitation Radar
The Global Precipitation Mission is currently being planned as a follow-on to the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission. One of the key components of the GPM science instrumentation is an advanced, dual-frequency rain mapping radar. In this paper, we present a potential system concept for this secondgeneration spaceborne precipitation radar. This proposed design ncorporates s veral advanced featu...
متن کاملObservation of Precipitation and Drop-Size Distribution Associated with a Typhoon using VHF Radar
This paper describes some of the microphysical and kinematic properties of precipitating systems associated with a typhoon using Chug-Li VHF radar. In order to gain a better understanding of these mechanisms and the vertical structure of the precipitation associated with a typhoon at different stages of development, an analysis has been carried out of the radar back-scattered signal in order to...
متن کاملIntra-seasonal variability of cloud amount over the Indian subcontinent during the monsoon season as observed by TRMM precipitation radar
The intra-seasonal variability of the Indian summer monsoon, which manifests in the form of “active” and “break” phases in rainfall, is investigated with respect to the variability of the convective and stratiform precipitating cloud pattern over the region. Long period data from TRMM PR satellite (2A23 and 3B42 datasets) for the monsoon season of 2002 to 2010 over the Indian subcontinent is us...
