- W2103876731 abstract "Abstract In view of the importance of tropical rainfall and the ubiquitous need for its estimates in climate modeling, the authors assess the ability of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) precipitation radar (PR) to characterize the scaling characteristics of rainfall by comparing the derived results with those obtained from the ground-based radar (GR) data. The analysis is based on 59 months of PR and GR rain rates at three TRMM ground validation (GV) sites: Houston, Texas; Melbourne, Florida; and Kwajalein Atoll, Republic of the Marshall Islands. The authors consider spatial scales ranging from about 4 to 64 km at a fixed temporal scale corresponding to the sensor “instantaneous” snapshots (∼15 min). The focus is on the scaling of the marginal moments, which allows estimation of the scaling parameters from a single scene of data. The standard rainfall products of the PR and the GR are compared in terms of distributions of the scaling parameter estimates, the connection between the scaling parameters and the large-scale spatial average rain rate, and deviations from scale invariance. The five main results are as follows: 1) the PR yields values of the rain intermittence scaling parameter within 20% of the GR estimate; 2) both the PR and GR data show a one-to-one relationship between the intermittence scaling parameter and the large-scale spatial average rain rate that can be fit with the same functional form; 3) the PR underestimates the curvature of the scaling function from 20% to 50%, implying that high rain-rate extremes would be missed in a downscaling procedure; 4) the majority of the scenes (>85%) from both the PR and GR are scale invariant at the moment orders q = 0 and 2; and 5) the scale-invariance property tends to break down more likely over ocean than over land; the rainfall regimes that are not scale invariant are dominated by light storms covering large areas. Our results further show that for a sampling size of one year of data, the TRMM temporal sampling does not significantly affect the derived scaling characteristics. The authors conclude that the TRMM PR has the ability to characterize the basic scaling properties of rainfall, though the resulting parameters are subject to some degree of uncertainty." @default.
