For over two decades operational rainfall estimations from geostationary satellites have
represented an ambitious aspiration of scientists and an identified need of operational …

The potential of an infrared-based satellite rainfall algorithm, the well-known Convective-
Stratiform technique (CST), to estimate accumulated rainfall in the Mediterranean basin is …

Convective precipitation events in northern Italy during 1996 and 1997 are analysed using
two infrared-based geosynchronous satellite rainfall estimation methods to verify the level of …

Simultaneous rainfall analyses using Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) passive

Satellite Cloud Classification and Rain-Rate Estimation Using Multispectral Radiances and
Measures of Spatial Texture in: Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology Volume 35 …

This article evaluates an infrared-based satellite algorithm for rainfall estimation, the
Convective Stratiform technique, over Mediterranean. Unlike a large number of works that …

The aim is to evaluate the use of infrared satellite precipitation estimates for nowcasting
purposes in the context of a real-time flood-warning scheme. A radar-based calibration …

In this paper, two new infrared precipitation estimation approaches based on the concept of
k-means clustering are first proposed, named the NAW-Kmeans and the GPI-Kmeans …

As a first step for remote sensing cloud properties, a database of cloud genera has been
established. This is derived from a microphysical model, and it considers the statistical …

The potential of three infrared satellite‐based techniques to estimate accumulated rainfall is
tested, and the techniques are compared and contrasted. The tests are conducted in the …
