The Effect of Rain on Nadir Ocean Backscatter in TOPEX Radar Altimeter DataRainfall profile from the 14 GHz TRMM Precipitation Radar will require correction for attenuation effects. An important technique for this is the surface reference technique, which estimates the path attenuation through rain by comparing the clear air ocean backscatter with ocean backscatter in rain.
