CloudSat-Based Assessment of GPM Microwave Imager Snowfall Observation Capabilities
The sensitivity of Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Microwave Imager (GMI) high-frequency channels to snowfall at higher latitudes (around 60◦N/S) is investigated using coincident CloudSat observations. The 166 GHz channel is highlighted throughout the study due to its ice scattering sensitivity and polarization information. The analysis of three case studies evidences the important combi...
متن کاملExperimental Light Rainfall and Snowfall Products for Cloudsat
When it launches next spring CloudSat, a component of the A-Train formation of satellites, will carry the first millimeter wavelength cloud radar in space. In addition to its stated objective of making a global survey of cloud microphysical properties, the CloudSat 94 GHz Cloud Profiling Radar (CPR) is also well-suited to the problem of determining the distribution of light rain and snow that c...
متن کاملProcessing a multifold ground penetration radar data using common-diffraction-surface stack method
Recently, the non-destructive methods have become of interest to the scientists in various fields. One of these method is Ground Penetration Radar (GPR), which can provide a valuable information from underground structures in a friendly environment and cost-effective way. To increase the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio of the GPR data, multi-fold acquisition is performed, and the Common-Mid-Points ...
متن کاملMethodology for Aligning and Comparing Spaceborne Radar and Ground-Based Radar Observations
Direct intercomparisons between spaceand ground-based radar measurements can be a challenging task. Differences in viewing aspects between space and earth observations, propagation paths, frequencies, resolution volume size, and time synchronization mismatch between spaceand ground-based observations can contribute to direct point-by-point intercomparison errors. This problem is further complic...
متن کاملSensitivity of Modeled C- and L-Band Radar Backscatter to Ground Surface Parameters in Loblolly Pine Forest
Variations and fluctuations of forest floor scattering was soil rms height, whereas, at C-band, all parameters were about equal in influence. The modeled sensitivities properties can lead to variability in radar backscatter from forest, thereby interfering with SAR backscattersuggested that the surface-related uncertainty in forest backscatter at L-HH and L-VV, and at C-HH and C-VV based estima...
