Capabilities and uncertainties of aircraft measurements for the validation of satellite precipitation products – a virtual case study

Remote sensing sensors on board of research aircraft provide detailed measurements of clouds and precipitation which can be used as reference data to validate satellite products. Such satellite derived precipitation data using passive microwave radiometers with a resolution of typically 50×50km2$50\...
