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.Remote Sensing of PrecipitationEnvironmental engineeringEnvironmental monitoringsatellite 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 systemsEnvironmental engineering.Environmental monitoring.Michaelides SilasBOOK9910346860003321Remote sensing of precipitation3401875UNINA
