Global precipitation retrieval algorithm trained for SSMIS using a numerical weather prediction model: Design and evaluation

This paper presents and evaluates a global precipitation retrieval algorithm for the Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder (SSMIS). It is based on those developed earlier for the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU) and employs neural networks trained with 122 global storms that spanned a year...
