An accurate and timely understanding of its characteristics at the global, regional, and local scales is indispensable for a clearer understanding of the mechanisms underlying the Earth's atmosphere-ocean complex system. Precipitation is one of the elements that is documented to be greatly affected by climate change. In its various forms, precipitation comprises a primary source of freshwater, which is vital for the sustainability of almost all human activities. Its socio-economic significance is fundamental in managing this natural resource effectively, in applications ranging from irrigation to industrial and household usage. Remote sensing of precipitation is pursued through a broad spectrum of continuously enriched and upgraded instrumentation, embracing sensors which can be ground-based (e.g., weather radars), satellite-borne (e.g., passive or active space-borne sensors), underwater (e.g., hydrophones), aerial, or ship-borne.History of engineering and technologybicsscsatellite radianceWRF-Hydrometeorological radarQPEmicrostructure of rainTMPAevaluationprecipitationvolume matchingCFSRGMIterminal velocityTRMM-TMPAsurface rain intensityretrieval algorithmrain gaugestropical cycloneCMORPHT-MatrixGlobal Precipitation Measurement (GPM)statistical evaluationvertical air velocityheavy rainfall predictionGPM IMERG v5Tianshan MountainsRed River Basinprecipitation retrievalsatellite precipitationPERSIANN-CCSvalidation networkPEMWsatellite rainfall estimatehigh latitudeCyprusGPMwet depositionCloudSatthundercloudGPSsatellite remote sensingassessmentnumerical weather predictionmineral dustcomplex terrainmesoscale precipitation patternsGNSS meteorologylumped modelssatellitesSouthern Chinaerror analysistopographycloud scavengingradar reflectivity–rain rate relationshipCHAOSRADOLANhydrometeor classificationTRMMthunderstormCHIRPSsatellite precipitation retrievalGPM/IMERGGSMaPbias correctionPrecise Point PositioningMainland Chinasupercooled droplets detectionSEIDSaharan dust transportationHuaihe River basinGPM Microwave ImagersatelliteTMPA 3B42RTforecast modelquality indexesSEVIRIradiometertriple collocationsatellite precipitation productMandrasynoptic weather typesdrop size distribution (DSD)Amazon Basinweather radarX-band radardownscalingprecipitation rateneural networksrain rateCMIPGPM-era IMERGGR modelsweathertyphoonsatellite rainfall retrievalsTRMM 3B42 v7validationlow-cost receiversrainfall retrieval techniquessnowfall detectionGPM satelliteZenith Tropospheric Delay3B42hurricane HarveyPERSIANN_CDRTRMM 3B42 V7snow water path retrievalDPRsatellite precipitation adjustmentPeninsular SpainRMAPSdaily rainfall estimationsstreamflow simulationregional climate modelsRed–Thai Binh River BasinEnsemble Precipitation (EP) algorithmcloud radardisdrometerTRMM-era TMPAhydrometeorologyMSGradar data assimilationdust washout processrunoff simulationsgeostationary microwave sensorsradartopographical and seasonal evaluationgoGPSXPOL radarTMPA 3B42V7telemetric rain gaugeharmonie modeltropical storm rainfalllinear-scaling approachMilešovka observatoryprecipitable water vaporheavy precipitationhydrological simulationreflectivityKa-bandTibetan Plateausatellite rainfall estimatesregional rainfall regimesLai Nullahmicrowave scatteringremote sensingpre-processingrainfall rateMSWEPclimatologyVIC modelCMORPH_CRTIMERGsingle frequency GNSSPERSIANNflood-inducing stormclimate modelsPakistanprecipitating hydrometeordata assimilationrainfallkriging with external driftdual-polarizationquantitative precipitation estimatesflash floodSatellite Precipitation Estimatesgridded radar precipitationregional rainfall sub-regimespolar systemsHistory of engineering and technologyMichaelides Silas1292430ScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910346859903321Remote Sensing of Precipitation: Volume 23022298UNINA
