Abstract • Monitor IPWG validation of microwave precipitation products • Use MM5 output to derive relationship between rain rate and atmospheric water • Pre-classification for MIRS retrieval
Monitor IPWG MW validation(1) • Validation of 6 MW products against both radar and gauge over CONUS • Validation of 2 MW products against gauge only over southern America • Monitor 5 parameters (POD, FAR, RMSE, MAE, COR), daily updated on MIRS website
Rain rate/Atmos. Water from MM5(1) • Rain water near surface is more correlated with rain rate than column integrated rain water. Correlation with IWP: 0.582, with CWP: 0.610
Rain rate/Atmos. Water from MM5(2) • RR=0.274-0.302IWP+2.202CWP+5.329RWP • RR=1.038+0.235IWP-0.100CWP+21.133RWC_sfc
Rain rate/Atmos. Water from MM5(3) • 45X45km FOV size • RR=1.642-2.720IWP-5.622CWP+34.093RWC_sfc
Rain rate/Atmos. Water from MM5(3) • R=a*RWC_sfc*(1-exp(-b*(RWC_sfc)^(1/3))) • a=22.57, b=5.6E10, ----- R=22.57*RWC_sfc
Pre-classification for MIRS Retrieval • Use model output to calculate co-variance matrix for dry, non-convective, convective classes • Use microwave BT and its texture variability to identify dry, non-convective, convective classes in MIRS retrieval
