| Zusammenfassung |
| In a related presentation in this Session (Casella et al.), we describe the main design features
of the Cloud Dynamics and Radiation Database (CDRD) approach to precipitation
retrieval from passive-microwave (MW) satellite measurements, and then illustrate the
microphysical-radiative characteristics of a new CDRD database for the European
area.
In this presentation, we will discuss the results of the application of our CDRD algorithm
in conjunction with the European CDRD database to a series of heavy-precipitation case
studies over the Italian peninsula, that have been considered within the European FLASH
project. In addition, we will compare these retrievals with the corresponding ones that are
obtained by means of a “standard” Bayesian retrieval based on a Cloud Radiation Database
(CRD) approach. |
