The First WetNet Precipitation Intercomparison Project (PIP-1)

摘要: Abstract Precipitation is an important environmental parameter but also one which very inadequately measured and monitored across the surface of Earth. In recent years increasing attention has been paid to use satellites for improved rainfall measurement monitoring, interest grown in projects aimed at intercomparing where possible “validating” different satellite evaluation algorithms. This paper introduces first (algorithm) Intercomparison Project (PIP‐1) organized by Working Group NASA‐led WetNet activity, through reference its objectives, Steering Committee, data sets, general specific requirements estimates solicited from participating laboratories based on passive microwave DMSP‐SSM/I months July November 1987, detailing agreed schedule.
