Some Recipes and Ingredients for a Satellite-Based Rainfall Analysis
- Add many polar-orbiting microwave sensors, sample sufficiently, combine and average rain rates over a spatial domain and a time interval
- Add four or five geostationary infrared imagers, skim off data above a pre-determined temperature threshold, and average rain rates over a month
- Add ingredients for (1) and (2), blend carefully over time and space, statistically mix until they look about the same
