On the statistical relationship between cloud optical and microphysical characteristics and rainfall intensity for convective storms over the Mediterranean

The relationship between the multi-spectral cloud field characterization from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) and the rainfall intensities from the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-module B (AMSU-B) data were studied for a convective storm event, which occurred during the first...
