Rain rate estimation from nadir-looking TOPEX/POSEIDON microwave radiometer (TMR) for correction of radar altimetric measurements
Atmospheric liquid water, particularly in the form of rain, produces anomalies in the radar altimetric range measurements. Such features are observed as sudden large changes in radar backscatter as a means of identification. To quantify the rain that radar altimetric pulses encounter, the instantane...
