One important reason is that the effects of precipitation on the normalized radar cross section sigma-0 are neglected in the processing algorithms. This paper presents results of a first attempt to provide sigma-0 corrections, which account for the atmospheric attenuation of the rain. Atmospheric transmissivity is derived from the QuikSCAT Radiometer (QRAD) excess brightness temperatures taken simultaneously with sigma-0 measurements. When applied, retrieved wind speeds show improved agreement with numerical hurricane models (PSU/NCAR MM5) where there is moderate to high rainfall. | ISBN: | 0-7803-7534-3 | ISSN: | 0197-7385 | DOI: | 10.1109/OCEANS.2002.1191935 | Rights: | © 2002 IEEE | Type: | Conference Papers | Affiliation: | University of Central Florida | Affiliation: | University of Central Florida | Publication Type: | Peer Reviewed |
