Five space-borne X-band synthetic aperture radars (SARs) are now operating and several more will be aloft in the coming years. These sensors provide an opportunity to measure rainfall over both land and sea with unsurpassed ~ 200 m spatial resolution. A brief description of rainfall retrieval algorithms from such radar data, and their validation is presented.

Abstract
Five space-borne X-band synthetic aperture radars (SARs) are now operating and several more will be aloft in the coming years. These sensors provide an opportunity to measure rainfall over both land and sea with unsurpassed ~ 200 m spatial resolution. A brief description of rainfall retrieval algorithms from such radar data, and their validation is presented.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
