Witryna1 wrz 2024 · Rain affects the wind measurement accuracy of the Ku-band spaceborne scatterometer. In order to improve the quality of the retrieved wind field, it is necessary to identify and flag rain-contaminated data. In this study, an HY-2A scatterometer is used to study rain identification. In addition to the conventional parameters, such as … WitrynaUsing analytical rain cell models and constant wind fields, the effects of partial beam filling by rain is investigated. The model results show that Ku-band scatterometer …

Witryna12 kwi 2024 · Additionally, analysis of the moist static energy budget shows that surface fluxes help support the westward-propagation of diurnal precipitation. These results—based on novel satellite data and reanalysis—are consistent with previous studies that have examined the impact of the land-sea breeze on the diurnal cycle of … Witryna24 gru 2024 · The model results show that Ku-band scatterometer data are greatly affected by rain and are extremely sensitive to the distribution of rain within scatterometer cells, i.e., to the distance ... Witryna[1] Rain can strongly modify the normalized radar cross section (NRCS) measured by Ku-band scatterometers and alter the wind vector retrieval. Part 1 of this paper … ctd telemetry data
