A survey of radar rain measurement techniquesOceanic rainfall was extrapolated in the past from land and island measurements. It was uncertain how representative the land measurements were in local and remote oceanic areas. Now several independent oceanic rainfall analyses are available. These analyses are based upon different techniques, yet they produce similar values. It is suggested that island and coastal measurements are suitable to calibrate satellite oceanic rainfall measurements.
