FACE-2 Data Reductions and Analyses (Prior to Disclosure of the Treatment Decisions): Part V. Satellite-Estimated Rainfall from a Geostationary Platform in FACE-2

摘要

Precipitation on the 51 FACE-2 B days was estimated for the FACE target area and an extended, surrounding area through use of the digital, GOES infrared imagery. The satellite rain estimation technique is described. Daily rain volumes and daily isohyetal maps are given. The approach to determine the extra-area effects of seeding with these rainfall data is outlined.
