Exploitation of cloud top characterization from three-channel IR measurements in a physical PMW rain retrieval algorithm
Rainfall intensity estimates by passive microwave (PMW) measurements from space perform generally better over the sea surface with respect to land, due to the problems in separating true rain signatures from those produced by surfaces having similar spectral behaviour (e.g. snow, ice, desert and sem...
