Radar and satellite area-time-integral techniques for estimating convective precipitationThe application of the area-time-integral (ATI) method (Doneaud et al, 1984) to radar and satellite measurements is reviewed. Results are presented from the calculation of ATI values from radar observations based on low-elevation-angle and low-altitude CAPPI data. Also, results from a satellite ATI calculation using IR images from a GEO platform are given. The results suggest that the radar and satellite applications produce good consistency.
