On the design issues for a spaceborne rain mapping radar
Abstract
The design concept for the spaceborne rain mapping radar for the Tropical Rain Measuring Mission (TRMM) of Thiele (1987) is examined. The TRMM requirements for sampling strategy, spatial and height resolutions, observable altitude, and rain rate measurement range are described. The adaptive scanning and nadir Doppler measurement modes for the radar are discussed.
