Collocating satellite-based radar and radiometer measurements – methodology and usage examples [PDF]

Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2010
Collocations between two satellite sensors are occasions where both sensors observe the same place at roughly the same time. We study collocations between the Microwave Humidity Sounder (MHS) on-board NOAA-18 and the Cloud Profiling Radar (CPR) on-board ...

Peering Inside Tropical Cyclones With the WIVERN Space‐Borne Doppler Radar

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The WIVERN (Wind Velocity Radar Nephoscope) mission significantly enhances the global tropical cyclone observing system. Operating from a 500 km near‐polar orbit, the 3 m diameter conically scanning antenna provides an 800 km swath. The radar operated at 94 GHz (3 mm wavelength) provides high‐resolution observations with a vertical resolution ...

CloudSat-Based Assessment of GPM Microwave Imager Snowfall Observation Capabilities [PDF]

Remote Sensing, 2017
The sensitivity of Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Microwave Imager (GMI) high-frequency channels to snowfall at higher latitudes (around 60°N/S) is investigated using coincident CloudSat observations. The 166 GHz channel is highlighted throughout the study due to its ice scattering sensitivity and polarization information. The analysis of three

Evaluation of Global Storm‐Resolving Models in DYAMOND‐Winter: Radiation, Precipitation, Water Vapor, and Convective Organization

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract We present a comprehensive evaluation of 13 global storm‐resolving models participating in the DYnamics of the Atmospheric general circulation Modeled On Non‐hydrostatic Domains (DYAMOND) Winter intercomparison project, focusing on their ability to simulate key atmospheric fields, such as precipitation rate, outgoing longwave radiation, and ...

Low cloud precipitation climatology in the southeastern Pacific marine stratocumulus region using CloudSat

Environmental Research Letters, 2013
A climatology of low cloud surface precipitation occurrence and intensity from the new CloudSat 2C-RAIN-PROFILE algorithm is presented from June 2006 through December 2010 for the southeastern Pacific region of marine stratocumulus.

Deep Neural Network Based Scale‐Adaptive Cloud Vertical Overlap Parameterization

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract Cloud vertical overlap has important implications for cloud radiative effects in climate models. Due to its spatiotemporal complexity, it is difficult to simulate cloud overlap in climate models. Decorrelation length (L $L$) is crucial for depicting the vertical overlap of clouds in climate models.

Diverging Spring Warming and Growing Season Shifts Across Eurasia and North America Under Future Climate

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract Springtime warming over Northern Mid‐High‐latitude Land profoundly affects plant life cycles and water resources, yet large model uncertainty limits climate risk assessment. Here, we develop a novel emergent constraint that targets the key uncertainty source—model divergence in surface‐albedo feedback linked to historical snowmelt sensitivity.

Biases in Southern Ocean Precipitation From Shallow Convection: The Role of Cloud Morphology

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Precipitation from marine boundary layer clouds is a critical yet highly uncertain feature of post‐frontal conditions over the Southern Ocean (SO), where shallow convection dominates. This study evaluates whether satellite retrievals (GPM‐IMERG and CloudSat) and reanalysis (ERA5) represent the contrasting precipitation between open and closed ...

Northern Hemisphere Warm Fronts Are Less Efficient at Precipitating Ice Than Their Southern Hemisphere Counterparts

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Using satellite observations, ice water path (IWP), liquid water path (LWP), and surface precipitation across warm frontal regions are examined in the Northern (NH) and Southern (SH) Hemispheres, accounting for the life stages and characteristics of extratropical cyclones (ETCs).

Identification of precipitation onset based on Cloudsat observations

Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer, 2017
AbstractObservations of cloud vertical structure by Cloud Profiling Radar on CloudSat satellite provide a unique opportunity to globally identify the onset of precipitation. In this study, based on a conceptual model for an adiabatic cloud, a new method to determine the onset of precipitation in marine warm clouds is developed.
