Why do existing satellite based climatologies exhibit
systematic differences? What are the prospects for
reconciling these differences in moving toward a better
- Current satellite based climatologies have
notable differences in their spatial details
and in their temporal variability.
- Climate models and 4-DDA systems have
advanced to the state that “observational
uncertainty” is a serious issue.
- Can we turn the diverse physics of the satellite
algorithms to our advantage in determining why
each portrays rainfall somewhat differently?
