Detecting rain with QuikScat

The wind retrievals produced from the QuikScat Scatterometer are affected by the presence of rain. Scattering from the rain drops and from surface roughness caused by rain-induced splashing increases the measured signal power. The rain also attenuates the signal as it travels to and from the sea sur...
