Enhancing the consistency of spaceborne and ground-based radar comparisons by using beam blockage fraction as a quality filter

<p>We explore the potential of spaceborne radar (SR) observations from the Ku-band precipitation radars onboard the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) and Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) satellites as a reference to quantify the ground radar (GR) reflectivity bias. To this e...
