| hasSummary |
-
This dataset contains version 0.x of the NOAA CPC MORPHing technique
(CMORPH) global precipitation analyses covering the period June
2014-present. Version 0.x comprises the original CMORPH
precipitation analyses that CPC has been generating since CMORPH
became operational in December 2002, and is generated using an
improving algorithm with inputs of evolving versions. Older CMORPH
version 0.x data (prior to June 2014) may be accessed from RDA
dataset ds502.0 [http://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds502.0/].
CMORPH produces global precipitation analyses at very high spatial
and temporal resolution. This technique uses precipitation estimates
that have been derived from low orbiter satellite microwave
observations exclusively, and whose features are transported via
spatial propagation information that is obtained entirely from
geostationary satellite infrared data. Precipitation estimates are
derived from the passive microwaves aboard the DMSP 13, 14 and 15
(SSM/I), the NOAA-15, 16, 17 and 18 (AMSU-B), and AMSR-E and TMI
aboard NASA's Aqua and TRMM spacecraft, respectively. These
estimates are generated by algorithms of Ferraro (1997) for SSM/I,
Ferraro et al. (2000) for AMSU-B and Kummerow et al. (2001) for TMI.
Note that this technique is not a precipitation estimation algorithm
but a means by which estimates from existing microwave rainfall
algorithms can be combined. Therefore, this method is extremely
flexible such that any precipitation estimates from any microwave
satellite source can be incorporated.
