This paper introduces an uncertainty model for the quantitatively estimate precipitation using weather radars. The model considers various key aspects associated to radar calibration, attenuation, and the tradeoff between ...

Precipitation radar on board the TRMM satellite was a milestone in the rainfall observation capability in the large scale. Stemming from TRMM the new mission GPM (Global Precipitation Measurement) is to overcome some TRMM ...

Precipitation is an essential meteorological variable in several areas of knowledge, such as agriculture, civil defense, energy, etc. However, it is a variable known to be discontinuous both in space and time. To obtain ...

High-resolution quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) from radar and satellite combined with rain gauges is one of the most important guides for hydrological forecasts. Whereas rain gauges provide accurate measurement ...

Due to diverse and extreme weather conditions, the Peruvian population is vulnerable to high-impact natural disasters. A continuous monitoring of all weather conditions is necessary for accurate weather models, forecast, ...

Stratiform rain situations are generally associated with the presence of a melting layer characterized by a strong signature in polarimetric radar variables. This layer is an important feature as it indicates the transition ...

The Andes‐Amazon transition, along the eastern Peruvian Andes, features “hot spots” with strong precipitation. Using 15 years of Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission PR data we established a robust relation between terrain ...
