SSM/I liquid and frozen precipitation patterns in Hurricane GilbertThe rain and ice signatures of tropical oceanic precipitation systems obtained with the Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) are examined. A method for polarization correction without the F8 SSM/I V85.5 channel is presented. As an example of the methodology, SSM/I imagery is used to study the ice and liquid features of Hurricane Gilbert.
