Two sources of H113 estimates were available at Platform Harvest; a NOAA buoy and CU depth sensor highrate data. H113 estimates from the NOAA buoy were based on twenty minutes of data every hour, CU pressure measurements were taken every 1.1 seconds. For purposes of this paper, H113 estimates from the (7U depth sensor were based on one hour of data, This paper compares H113 measurements from TO...

A neural network-based retrieval technique is developed to infer vapor, liquid. and ice columns using twoand threechannel microwave radiometers. Neural network-based inverse scattering methods are capable of merging various data streams in order to retrieve microphysical properties of clouds and precipitation. The method is calibrated using National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)...

This study presents the results of a microwave-based algorithm which attempts to perform the retrieval of hydrometeor parameters in a profile form. The hydrometeors in question are both phases of the precipitating rain (liquid and frozen). The algorithm is called the Microwave Integrated Retrieval System (MiRS) which uses microwave radiances from AMSU and MHS sensors onboard NOAA-18, NOAA-19, M...

A surface-precipitation-rate retrieval algorithm for 13-channel Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU) millimeter-wave spectral observations from 23 to 191 GHz is described. It was trained using cloudresolving fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University–National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model (MM5) simulations over 106 global storms. The resulting retrievals from the U.S. N...
