Beamfilling correction study for retrieval of oceanic rain from passive microwave observations

Beamfilling error is one of the main error sources for microwave oceanic rainfall retrieval. An accurate beamfilling correction can improve the rainfall retrieval accuracy significantly. Quantitative understanding of the uncertainty of the Beamfilling Correction Factor (BCF) is very important for th...
