Validation of QuikScat radiometric estimates of rain rate

The SeaWinds scatterometer on the QuikScat satellite simultaneously measures the active (scattering) and passive (emission) microwave characteristics of the Earth's surface. This paper describes the use of the QuikScat Radiometer (QRad) brightness temperature measurements to infer rain rate ove...
