Applications of a cloudsat-trmm and cloudsat-gpm satellite coincidence dataset

The Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Dual-Frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR) (Ku-and Ka-band, or 14 and 35 GHz) provides the capability to resolve the precipitation structure under moderate to heavy precipitation conditions. In this manuscript, the use of near-coincident observations between...

Descripción
Sumario:The Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Dual-Frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR) (Ku-and Ka-band, or 14 and 35 GHz) provides the capability to resolve the precipitation structure under moderate to heavy precipitation conditions. In this manuscript, the use of near-coincident observations between GPM and the CloudSat Profiling Radar (CPR) (W-band, or 94 GHz) are demonstrated to extend the capability of representing light rain and cold-season precipitation from DPR and the GPM passive microwave constellation sensors. These unique triple-frequency data have opened up applications related to cold-season precipitation, ice microphysics, and light rainfall and surface emissivity effects.
