Precipitation Estimates from Commercial Microwave Links: Practical Approaches to Wet-antenna Correction [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2021 An inadequate correction for wet antenna attenuation (WAA) often causes a notable bias in quantitative precipitation estimates (QPEs) from commercial microwave links (CMLs) limiting the usability of these rainfall data in hydrological applications. This paper analyzes how WAA can be corrected without dedicated rainfall monitoring for a set of 16 CMLs ...

Optimal grid resolution for precipitation maps from commercial microwave link networks [PDF]
Advances in Science and Research, 2020 Abstract. High-resolution precipitation observation based on signal attenuation in a Commercial Microwave Link (CML) network is an emerging technique that is becoming more and more used. Commonly, the raw data – line measurements from successive time steps – are mapped onto a grid to estimate precipitation fields with a full spatio-temporal coverage ...
