Comparison and Validation of Several Open Access Remotely Sensed Rainfall Products for the Nile Basin

Researches about the water cycle are done very often and are very effective to improve the efficiency of the water usage for a basin. Especially in water scarce areas, this type of research are wanted. Water scarcity occurs when water supply cannot meet the water demand. More than half of the world will experience physical or economic water...

Estimation and assessment of differential and specific differential phase with the IDRA X-band Doppler polarimetric radar

The specific differential phase (Kdp) is a polarimetric radar observable which can be advantageous for rain rate estimation as it is not affected by absolute calibration errors and resistive to hail contamination. Its estimation, starting from the differential phase (?dp) consists of many processing steps and considerations which are more...
