Nowcasting of intense rain is important in various fields of life. In this paper, radiometric brightness temperature measurements at Ka and V bands are utilized to predict rain event associated with impending convective processes. The instability parameters are estimated from radiometric data to point the development of atmospheric instability and an estimation of liquid water content is made from...
Slant path brightness temperatures were measured at 72.5 and 82.5 GHz with a multi-channel radiometer. One year of measurements collected at 36° elevation angle in Rome, NY were examined in terms of the attenuation statistics. The radiometric response was modeled with Monte-Carlo solution of the radiative transfer equation. The measured statistics were examined in relation to attenuation prediction...
The new Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) onboard the GCOM-W1 satellite has additional - comparatively to its predecessor AMSR-E - two channels working in C-band. It is demonstrated in this paper that the measurements at these additional channels can be effectively used for rain pixel identification and rain rate (RR) estimation. It is shown that the rain radiation constituent to the...
Radiometric measurements could provide continuous information about atmospheric conditions. In this paper, a sky status indicator (SSI) is proposed as a real-time recognition criterion for the detection, in particular, of the presence of rain events along the propagation path. The computation of the SSI is based on ground-based brightness temperature measurements, at 23.8 and 31.4 GHz, collected in...
