It covers ground-based systems such as weather radars and spaceborne instruments on satellites. Measurements and modeling of precipitation are at the core of weather forecasting, and long-term observations of the cloud system are vital to improving atmospheric models and climate projections. The first section of the book focuses on the use of ground-based weather radars to observe and measure precipitation and to detect and forecast storms, thunderstorms, and tornadoes. It also discusses the observation of clouds using ground-based millimeter radar. The second part of the book concentrates on spaceborne remote sensing of clouds and precipitation. It includes cases from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) and the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission, using satellite radars to observe precipitation systems. Then, the focus is on global cloud observations from the ClaudSat, Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO), including a perspective on the Earth Clouds, Aerosols, and Radiation Explorer (EarthCARE) satellite. It also addresses global atmospheric water vapor profiling for clear and cloudy conditions using microwave observations. The final part of this volume provides a perspective into advances in cloud modeling using remote sensing observations. 410 0$aSpringer Remote Sensing/Photogrammetry,$x2198-0721 606 $aRemote sensing 606 $aAtmospheric sciences 606 $aMeteorology 606 $aEnvironmental monitoring 606 $aRemote Sensing/Photogrammetry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J13010 606 $aAtmospheric Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G36000 606 $aMeteorology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/312000 606 $aMonitoring/Environmental Analysis$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U1400X 615 0$aRemote sensing. 615 0$aAtmospheric sciences. 615 0$aMeteorology. 615 0$aEnvironmental monitoring. 615 14$aRemote Sensing/Photogrammetry. 615 24$aAtmospheric Sciences. 615 24$aMeteorology. 615 24$aMonitoring/Environmental Analysis. 676 $a551.576 702 $aAndronache$b Constantin$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299390703321 996 $aRemote Sensing of Clouds and Precipitation$92503384 997 $aUNINA
