CloudSat-Based Assessment of GPM Microwave Imager Snowfall Observation Capabilities

CloudSat-Based Assessment of GPM Microwave Imager Snowfall Observation Capabilities

The sensitivity of Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Microwave Imager (GMI) high-frequency channels to snowfall at higher latitudes (around 60°N/S) is investigated using coincident CloudSat observations. The 166 GHz channel is highlighted throughout the study due to its ice scattering sensitivi...
