Abstract
In this paper, an algorithm for restoring the precipitation intensity over the ocean surface according to data from the MTVZA-GYa Russian microwave sounder is presented. The developed algorithm is based on the ALG’85 regression model in which the precipitation intensity is estimated using the scattering index on a high-frequency radiometric channel (~90 GHz). In this work, the scattering index is simulated based on MTVZA-GYa data and compared with GPM IMERG reanalysis data. To restore the precipitation intensity, it is proposed to use a fourth-degree polynomial. The quantitative estimates show that the RMS spread reaches 50%, and the correlation coefficient does not exceed 0.75. The qualitative comparison indicates a significant difference between the restored rain rate and the GPM IMERG data, as well as the presence of a shift of the precipitation area. As a result of the analysis, it is concluded that the incorrect convergence of the beams of the radiation patterns for different frequency channels of the MTVZA-GYa device might be one of the causes.
期刊介绍:
Izvestiya, Atmospheric and Oceanic Physics is a journal that publishes original scientific research and review articles on vital issues in the physics of the Earth’s atmosphere and hydrosphere and climate theory. The journal presents results of recent studies of physical processes in the atmosphere and ocean that control climate, weather, and their changes. These studies have possible practical applications. The journal also gives room to the discussion of results obtained in theoretical and experimental studies in various fields of oceanic and atmospheric physics, such as the dynamics of gas and water media, interaction of the atmosphere with the ocean and land surfaces, turbulence theory, heat balance and radiation processes, remote sensing and optics of both media, natural and man-induced climate changes, and the state of the atmosphere and ocean. The journal publishes papers on research techniques used in both media, current scientific information on domestic and foreign events in the physics of the atmosphere and ocean.
