Field-of-view effects in estimating precipitation from satellite microwave radiancesA one-dimensional cloud model for predicting precipitation is examined. The relation between the averaged brightness temperature and the rainfall rate for various microwave frequencies and field-of-view (FOVs) is studied. The model is utilized to simulate the rainfall rate and brightness temperature data for 19 GHz, a 30 km FOV, 37 GHz, and a combination of IR and microwave data. The data produced by the simulations are described and analyzed.
