This book presents current applications of remote sensing
techniques for clouds and precipitation for the benefit of
students, educators, and scientists. It covers ground-based systems
such as weather radars and spaceborne instruments on satellites.
Measurements and modeling of precipitation are at the core of
weather forecasting, and long-term observations of the cloud system
are vital to improving atmospheric models and climate projections.
The first section of the book focuses on the use of ground-based
weather radars to observe and measure precipitation and to detect
and forecast storms, thunderstorms, and tornadoes. It also
discusses the observation of clouds using ground-based millimeter
radar. The second part of the book concentrates on spaceborne
remote sensing of clouds and precipitation. It includes cases from
the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) and the Global
Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission, using satellite radars to
observe precipitation systems. Then, the focus is on global cloud
observations from the ClaudSat, Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared
Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO), including a perspective
on the Earth Clouds, Aerosols, and Radiation Explorer (EarthCARE)
satellite. It also addresses global atmospheric water vapor
profiling for clear and cloudy conditions using microwave
observations. The final part of this volume provides a perspective
into advances in cloud modeling using remote sensing observations.
