Correcting Microwave Precipitation Retrievals for near-Surface Evaporation

This paper compares two methods for correcting passive or active microwave surface precipitation estimates based on hydrometeors sensed aloft that may evaporate before landing. These corrections were derived using two years of data from 516 globally distributed rain gauges and passive millimeter-wav...
