GROUND-BASED REMOTE SENSING OF LWC IN CLOUD AND RAINFALL BY A COMBINED DUAL-WAVELENGTH RADAR-RADIOMETER SYSTEM


doi: 10.1007/BF03179741

  • This paper describes the retrieval procedure of liquid water content (LWC) in cloud or rainfall distri-bution by a combination of microwave radiometry and radar and its numerical simulation. The per-formance of a combined dual-wavelength (35.0& 9.375 GHz) radar-radiometer system for the remote sensing of cloud LWC and rainfall is given. During the two summers of 1980 and 1981, the preliminary obser-vations of different clouds and storms by the combined system and combined radar-radiometric cloud and rain parameter retrievals are carried out. Research results show that by the use of the combined radar-radiometric method, improvement are obtained in accuracy of rms LWC and rainfall over the pure radio-metric technique or the radar alone.

The per-formance of a combined dual-wavelength (35.0& 9.375 GHz) radar-radiometer system for the remote sensing of cloud LWC and rainfall is given. During the two summers of 1980 and 1981, the preliminary obser-vations of different clouds and storms by the combined system and combined radar-radiometric cloud and rain parameter retrievals are carried out. Research results show that by the use of the combined radar-radiometric method, improvement are obtained in accuracy of rms LWC and rainfall over the pure radio-metric technique or the radar alone.
