Spaceborne radar measurements of vertical rainfall velocity: the non-uniform beam filling considerations

In this paper, the characteristics of the Doppler power spectrum observed by a spaceborne precipitation radar, under non uniform beam filling (NUBF) conditions is presented, and the expected performance of some standard Doppler estimators and that of a new inversion technique are investigated and co...
