Although extensively studied within the lidar community, the multiple scattering
phenomenon has always been considered a rare curiosity by radar meteorologists. Up to …

Satellite remote sensing is a viable source of observations of land surface hydrologic fluxes
and state variables, particularly in regions where in situ networks are sparse. Over the last …

Global measurements of horizontal winds in cloud and precipitation systems represent a
gap in the global observation system. The Wind Velocity Radar Nephoscope (WIVERN) …

This paper describes the expected performance of the Doppler cloud profiling radar being
built for the Earth Cloud Aerosols Radiation Explorer (EarthCARE) mission of the Japanese …

Multiple scattering (MS) strongly affects CloudSat's W-band cloud-profiling radar (CPR)
reflectivity when the satellite is overpassing moderate and heavy precipitation systems. With …

Marine stratiform clouds are a challenging target for spaceborne radars due to their
proximity to Earth's surface, limited vertical extent, and low radar reflectivity. The joint …

CloudSat observations have indicated that multiple scattering affects 94 GHz spaceborne
radar observations. The ESA EarthCARE explorer mission scheduled to launch in 2015 …

We propose the use of multiantenna radars for precipitation measurement from moving
platforms. The primary motivation is measurement of vertical motion from spaceborne …

This study investigated the effects of the difference of beam-pointing directions on the
Doppler measurements from a spaceborne Ku-band precipitation radar. The Doppler …
