The purpose of the International Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Program is to
develop a next-generation space-based measuring system which can fulfill the requirements …

A longstanding promise of meteorological satellites is the improved identification and
quantification of precipitation at time scales consistent with the nature and development of …

The development of a combined infrared and passive microwave satellite rainfall estimation
technique is outlined. Infrared data from geostationary satellites are combined with polar …

Satellite meteorology is facing a crucial period of its history since recent missions have
revealed instrumental for quantitative rainfall measurements from space and newly …

We present branching ratios for several mesonic decay modes of the ψ (3095). The two-
body and quasi-two-body final states have branching ratios that follow the general pattern of …

Rainfall–runoff modeling provides an opportunity to easily simulate the response of a
watershed, thus providing an option for sustainable water resources management …

Ocean surface rain rate information is crucial for quality control (QC) research in wind
scatterometry. High-quality precipitation retrievals from microwave instruments are available …

Summary¶ Cirrus clouds often form above intense convective storms due to several different
mechanisms and affect the radiation field at the top of the atmosphere. Radiative transfer …

ABSTRACT EURAINSAT is a shared-cost project co-funded by the Research DG of the
European Commission within the RTD activities of a generic nature of the Environment and …

There is an increasing demand for rainfall information throughout a range of temporal and
spatial scales. Conventional observations, from rain gauges or radar are limited, in accuracy …
