Recent Publication(s)

  • "Bayesian retrieval of complete posterior PDFs of oceanic rain rate from microwave observations"
Chiu JC, Petty GW, Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology 45 (8): 1073-1095 Aug 2006. The performance of the Bayesian algorithm herein is found to be comparable to that of other benchmark algorithms in real-world applications, while having the additional advantage of providing a complete continuous posterior probability distribution of surface rain rate.
  • "Precipitation and latent heating distributions from satellite passive microwave radiometry. Part I: Improved method and uncertainties"
Olson WS, Kummerow CD, Yang S, et al., Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology 45 (5): 702-720 May 2006.
  • "Application of SSM/I satellite data to a hurricane simulation"
Chen SH, Vandenberghe F, Petty GW, et al., Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society 130 (598): 801-825 Apr 2004. Two different approaches for assimilating SSM/I data, namely assimilating retrieved products and assimilating raw measurements, are further compared.
