| Zusammenfassung |
| The aim is to evaluate the use of a satellite infrared (IR) technique for
estimating rainfall over the eastern Mediterranean. The
Convective-Stratiform Technique (CST), calibrated by coincident, physically
retrieved rain rates from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM)
Precipitation Radar (PR), is applied over the Eastern Mediterranean for four
rain events during the six month period of October 2004 to March 2005.
Estimates from this technique are verified over a rain gauge network for
different time scales. Results show that PR observations can be applied to
improve IR-based techniques significantly in the conditions of a regional
scale area by selecting adequate calibration areas and periods. They reveal,
however, the limitations of infrared remote sensing techniques, originally
developed for tropical areas, when applied to precipitation retrievals in
mid-latitudes. |
