Precipitation rate at ground by MW cross-track scanners AMSU/MHS - Multimission

Abstract:
Instantaneous precipitation maps generated from passive MW images taken by cross-track scanners on operational satellites in sun-synchronous orbits processed soon after each satellite pass. Before undertaking retrieval the AMSU-A resolution is enhanced by blending with AMSU-B/MHS. Metop-A data are available in the Data Centre up to 15/11/2021.
