A Small Lightweight Radiometer to Improve the Temporal Sampling of Rainfall

This project is a continuation of work begun under NASA Grant NAG5-8005 with the PI (Ruf) at the Pennsylvania State University. The PI left Penn State to join the faculty at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor in July 2000. The bulk of funds originally obligated to Penn State for this work have been transferred to NASA Grant NAG5-9762 with U-M ('Design Study of a Synthetic Aperture Precipitation Radiometer', Project period 01/01/01-07/31/02), which is ongoing. A small portion of the original NAG5-8005 funds were retained at Penn State to settle outstanding obligations and then transferred to U-M as NAG5-9967.
