Airborne and spaceborne radars for rain mappingThe use of spaceborne rain radars for global and tropical precipitation mapping can provide significant information for atmospheric and climatic studies. Several key design issues for such a spaceborne rain radar are presented. Attention is also given to the design and development of an airborne rain mapping radar that will be used to support the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission. The system characteristics and expected measurement performance are summarized.
