Satellite radiometric remote sensing of rainfall fields: multi-sensor retrieval techniques at geostationary scale

The Microwave Infrared Combined Rainfall Algorithm (MICRA) consists in a statistical integration method using the satellite microwave-based rain-rate estimates, assumed to be accurate enough, to calibrate spaceborne infrared measurements on limited sub-regions and time windows. Rainfall retrieval is...
