New satellite network to monitor rainfall
Physics World, 2006The US, Japan and other nations are planning a satellite network to measure precipitation – rain, snow and ice – around the world every three hours. Plans for the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission, due to start up in 2010, were presented at a conference of the European Geo-sciences Union in Vienna last month.

Rainfall Estimation from Satellite Imagery
2000The precipitation process is arguably the most important component of the global hydro-meteorological cycle. The latent heat released by precipitation over the tropical oceans is a primary source of the energy modulating the dynamics of the atmosphere.

GOES Satellite Data in Rainfall Estimation
Journal of Irrigation and Drainage Engineering, 1989Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) visible and thermal infrared data, in conjunction with the Griffith-Woodley method, are used to estimate the rainfall in Florida. Both the life history techniques (LHT) and streamline techniques (SLT) of the Griffith-Woodley method are studied.

Rainfall estimation from satellite images
2010The design, management and operation (as well as the associated costs) of major water resource projects are directly related to the assessment of the anticipated volumes of runoff to be handled by the project. In remote or sparsely gauged regions it is often very difficult to determine these volumes due to a lack of data. The meteorological satellites,

Rainfall observation from Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite
Journal of Visualization, 1999National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA) successfully launched the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) observatory at 06:27 (JST) on Nov. 28, 1997. The TRMM satellite carries the first spaceborne Precipitation Radar (PR) which was developed by NASDA and Communications Research Laboratory.

Learning-Based Rainfall Estimation via Communication Satellite Links
2018 IEEE Statistical Signal Processing Workshop (SSP), 2018We present a method for estimating rainfall by opportunistic use of Ka-band satellite communication network. Our approach is based on the attenuation of the satellite link signal in the rain medium and exploits the nearly linear relation between the rain rate and the specific attenuation at Ka-band frequencies.
